Anybody else have trouble starting table food?

We are in total limbo. Dd does not like her purees anymore and isn't liking table food either. She loves her puffs though. If I put out a handful of puffs with her cut up carrots or anything she will hand pick out the puffs and then she's done. This is only after the table food has been out for awhile will I break out the puffs. She is getting great at her pincer grasp though.

I know it's new and she probably needs to get used to it, right?

Could be texture. Stick with the puffs maybe add in some Cheerios.

Totally normal. Just showing preference. Just keep trying different foods. And hide the puffs!

I'm having the exact same problem with the table food right now, except she still enjoys her purees. DD refuses to try anything that is not a puff. I will put various types of table food on her tray but she just either looks at, won't even touch it, or she'll pick it up and throw it on the floor. I've even tried Cheerios and she won't touch those either. It's extremely frustrating. I feel like she will never eat table food!

Just keep giving things. Don't just stick with what they know. Rash new food takes multiple tries before they will eat it.

You could try making a little dust out of crushed cheerios or puffs to coat other foods. She make like the feel of them better that way. You could also try putting them on a fork for her to feed herself with. I would avoid puffs for a few days to see if that helps. It's not like they're giving any nutrition that you need to give them if she doesn't eat other solids.
