What do you feed your 1 year olds?

deepanair · Jan 9, 2012

I have a 14 month old, who is otherwise a lively and wonderful child but turns into a fuss monster on her high chair! I try to feed her both indian and american food but of late the only thing she eats is macaroni and cheese , all other food ends up getting decorated on the floor :bonk. She is healthy otherwise but she needs to eat a variety of food to develop good eating habits.How do you ladies deal with fussy little eaters and what do you feed your 1 year olds?

I give DS Adais, cheela, omelets, boiled veggies(big size, so he can eat himself), pieces of bread/toast, alu tikkis, rotis made with dal or stuffed parathas, fruits, dry fruits. Still, he does get bored. I am now trying really hard to get him to learn to eat with a spoon so that the scope of what I can offer him becomes more.
