BLW Advice!

Could definitely be a phase. Some people may say it sounds like autism, but it’s too early to get him diagnosed. I’d wait till he’s a few years old to get him evaluated with autism. Only because this generation is so quick to label little quirks with diagnoses when the kids are actually perfectly fine.

My daughter had the opposite problem! She didn’t (and still doesn’t at almost 2) like things with a mashed or mushy texture. For example, bread, mashed potatoes, avocado, and oatmeal have been things she always disliked.

I completely know what you’re talking about. My son struggled with textures for a couple months. Meal times were so stressful for me because he was not eating. He would get angry and start crying because the inly thing he liked were purees. I started taking him to a feeding therapist (a speech language pathologist) and they were able to give me a few tips.
1. I guess I was giving too complex textures or maybe the food wasn’t soft enough (he didn’t get his first teeth until 10 months).
2. I discovered that he liked to be able to grab his food, so I startrd making his food in pancake form. As long as I could mash it with my fingers it was good.
3. If certain foods were slippery I would add hemp hearts (like tiny pieces of banana with hemp hearts). They would help with the grip plus very packed with nutrients.
4. I slowly started introducing different textures. So for example he hated the texture of scrambled eggs. So I slowly started introducing them. He would usually ignore them…

Oh and also, outside of meal times, give your baby textured teethers to play with. This will help them to get used to putting textured things in their mouth.
