Food for 13 Month Old

Hi A.,
A couple of things: kids go through stages and one day they will eat something they love, while the next day they won't touch it; this is normal; try melting a little bit of cheese over broccoli and cauliflower (both my kids love this and have for a long time)--if you cook the broc and cauli enough, it's soft enough for them to eat, even with three teeth. =0) Don't feed him the stems, just the florets.
The most reassuring bit of info I received from the doctor's office with my first child: up until about age five, your goal is to help kids eat a balanced diet over a period of three weeks, not each day! So, if one day they don't eat any veggies, and the next day that's all they will eat, great! =0)
Oh, also, check out a great book called the Sneaky Chef; the author's last name is Lapine, I think. It's a great way as your babe gets older to sneak fruits and veggies into foods they love. =0)
Hope this helps and good luck,
L., mother of almost 4 y.o. Zaria and almost 2 y.o. Simon

A.,
At 11 months both my children would eat rice, beans, tofu and even meat - beef, chicken, fish, not processed meat. I cut it very smal, not puree, even tought they didn't have a lot of teeth. Basically I always fed them the same food my husband and I have, I just make sure everything is smal enough so they don't choke. About the milk, after 12 months they only had milk 3 times a day, mornings, lunch and bed time. Hope it helps. Good luck!

If he likes to drink a lot you might try the juicy juice harvest surprise, that has I believe 1 full serving of veggies and fruit in each glass. I think my first son was drinking about 30 oz a day of milk, a bottle at breakfast, lunch dinner and bed time.

If you mash of puree his fruit slip some vegetables in with it. That is what I did with my son who only liked apple sauce and yogurt and milk. period. If he is only 13 months old and only has 3 teeth he probably shouldn't be eating too many really solid foods. Have you tried scrambled eggs or yogurt? Get the kind that has live bacteria. W. C.
