What to feed 11month old?

My son is 11 months old (he'll be 1 in 3 weeks). Hes got 7 teeth, %26amp; has been eating baby food %26amp; baby cookies since he was 5 months old. Recently hes gotten to a point where he wont allow anyone to feed him anything,and Im having MAJOR issues with meals for him. He doesnt really 'chew' yet which makes it a little harder to find foods for him.He LOVES fruit and HATES veggies. I've tried giving him ravioli, but he gagged on it. We've tried green beans, potatoes,grilled cheese sandwiches, and quite a few other things. They only thing he'll eat without any trouble is fruit (Gerber fruits, or the DelMonte fruit cocktail), baby cookies(sometimes).





I dont know what else to try! Ive got some carrots cooking right now, hoping he'll eat them.... But, I dont know what else to try....


I'm a 1st time, single mom, with few resources, so I dont have anyone to advise me on these things.Everyone says to feed him what I eat,but hes in daycare all day %26amp; we dont really eat dinner...HELP! Please!

What to feed 11month old?
Scrambled eggs


deli meat diced up


cooked frozen peas


shredded cheese


cheerios


canned fruit, diced





Keep the food the size of his thumbnail. Soft and small.....





Good Luck.
Reply:My baby has gone through the same thing. She is so independent like your child. I just let her eat her food (mushy and all) with her hands and then I would sneak a spoonful of baby food while she is busy looking at her gooey hands. Your baby maybe refusing food cuz he is not hungry or is in a protest mode. Babies will not starve themselves, he will eat when hungry. If he won't eat, please don't give him dessert, otherwise he is not getting the healthy veggies and meats. Chedder cheese and mozzerella are great 1st cheeses. Also, avocado is very good and healthy. This may sound gross, but mix some pureed veggies with her fruits. That worked for me sometimes.
