My 14 month old refuses to eat solids it’s been driving me crazy but I give her a lot of purées she loves fruit pouches and fruit

My 14 months old also eats just cereal, fruit pouches, yogurts, and milk.

Mine was never a big fan of purées to begin with honestly. She started them at like 4.5 months then solids around 6 months and never looked back. Besides pouches that I make her and yogurt
it’s driving me crazy too! She will eat stuff like eggs and bananas and oranges but when it comes to meat and veggies, POUCH IT IS
surviving off of pouches over here 🫠

Some days mine only wants fruit purées or pouches it’s normally also the only way to get him to eat any type of veggie. I’d try soft foods I know when my son is sick or teething bad he doesn’t want to eat anything but things that are soft and will mash in his mouth or just be able to be swallowed. If you can try pasta, banana, avocado, mashed potatoes, broth, yogurt, and things like that it might he easier to get in different types of foods or nutrients. My son got extremely picky but shockingly he puts anything in his mouth as long as he sees it on someone else’s plate or if we go out to eat. Just keep trying and avoid being frustrated if they throw the food or refuse to eat

mine too and fries

Genuine question. When did you start finger foods and was it delayed because of choking anxiety? If so your baby may have picked up on that and is associating solid foods with bad feelings. Now your anxiety over not having solids is coming in. It's hard but having a super relaxed meal of letting them just play and scoop a food or two can help this association.
He won't starve himself at the end of day. They really feed to stop their hunger so a few bites at a time can really be all they need.

My daughter got kind of tired of purées probably two months ago. But before that I asked the pediatrician if there was any reason to rush getting off the purées and more into solid food. She said purées have the nutrients she needs and they’re easy so not to really worry. That was around her first birthday, I think

Mine didn’t used to like purées (or I guess food in general). I recently weaned from nursing and now he eats usually a pouch per day and a LOT of oatmeal. He eats some solids but it’s give or take. Idk If it’s too much oatmeal or not but he goes to bed hungry otherwise because he won’t eat enough solid food. So before nap and bedtime we fed him oatmeal.
