HELP! My DD HATES regular food!
My twins are 13.5 months! We've been letting them have tastes of our food here and there and the past month or two we've been giving them regular food more often, or trying anyway! DS will eat almost ANYTHING we put in front of him. DD will try it and then refuse to eat it! She hates everything! We try and feed her everything we eat. We've tried chicken fingers and fries, mac n cheese, pasta, eggs, grilled cheese, pizza, Pancakes, everything. She hates it! What can i do? I'm so sick of buying baby food but she prefers it over our food!!!!!! UGH! I guess this is more of a rant than anything. There's nothing i can do until she is ready, right?

Re: HELP! My DD HATES regular food!
She is probably not ready yet....are you cutting the food up in small pieces and having her feed herself? This is the only way my DD would eat reg. food.

Yes! I cut it up into pea size pieces and let her feed her self and she just plays with with it. Then i try to feed her and she shuts her mouth real tight and turns her head!

Re: HELP! My DD HATES regular food!
What about putting the purees on table foods? Jars of veggies on pastina, fruits on a piece of toast, etc.
Also try using slightly bigger pieces (but steam/cook the food really thoroughly). I found that very tiny pieces were hard for my DD to grab, but with bigger stuff, she could shovel it right in.
Is there a specific fruit or veggie she loves?Try starting with that as a table food.
You could also spoon feed her half of a meal (so you know she got to eat something) and then give her table foods to eat afterwards.

Re: HELP! My DD HATES regular food!
Honestly, dont stress it. DS was the same way when we started introducing table food. We started at 10 months and he wouldn't eat anything!
it was so frustrating... we kept offering it at least once a day (at daycare and home) and at a week shy of 12 months he finally started to eat it.
Hang in there.. your DD will eat when she's ready! :)
