Please help? Silly questions

Not silly questions at all.
At this age, I offer an alternative food (something boring) as i think they're too young to try it on. But if my 2.5yo says she doesn't like something (which she's doing A LOT atm) and I know she does, she doesn't get an alternative and she generally eats what I've given after a little protest lol. I try to make their meals a selection of things tho, so there's always at least one or two things I know they'll happily eat.
My just turned 1yo has sandwiches on normal untoasted bread, altho he's not got any teeth yet so he just sucks all his food 🤦🏻‍♀️
Baby can have spices. Helps widen their taste buds. Prob not a vindaloo or something lol but a bit of spice isn't bad for them..

I give him quite abit of variety so if there is something he doesn't want then there's other options! I keep giving him the food a few days later though! He hated tomatoes but over the month, I gave him them about 4/5 times randomly and he now eats them!

He eats sandwiches now but used to struggle and found them claggy in his mouth. Maybe stop and try again in a few weeks? He also has toast xx

You can use seasoning. Nobody likes bland food, not even babies 😭

Obviously not the salt, but babies can have spices, I've given my little one bits of what I've had since she was 6 months and now she'll happily eat spiced foods and I think her spice tolerance is higher than many of the adults in her life 😂

The more flavour the more my little boy eats. He loves lamb koftas & tatziki atm 🫶
