Does your over 12 month old eat solid food?

Kieran is almost 20 months old and still doesn't eat much of anything solid. Mostly just bites here and there.

Sometimes I wonder how my 6 year old has all the energy he does. There are days when he hardly eats a thing.

At 20 months, Jack are very little solid food. His entire day's intake might have been one jar of stage 2 baby food and a few cheerios. He nursed a lot.
He's 2 1/2 now, and he eats 3 meals a day - normal kid meals. I never pushed food. I offered. He ate or he didn't. As he got older, he got more interested.
I wouldn't worry too much.

DD ate just a few bites of this and that at 12 months. She eats much more at 20 months but it probably doesn't add up to a lot - she's still about a few bites of lots of foods. At 18 months, my solid issues DS ate 0-100 calories of nonbreastmilk a day - often a smoothie.

Abby only takes bites here and there right now, she is just 12 months.

DD is 21 months and would eat her own arm if I made her wait to long for a snack or a meal. My 4 year old barely eats, ever.

Rylan is 16 months. I offer him food whenever I'm eating and when he wants a "nak" (snack). He usually eats 3 or 4 bites and says "ah duhn" (all done). He still nurses every 2 to 3 hours around the clock.

My 14 month old is a total grazer. He does sit down at meals, but seems to only eat a few bites of this and that really. I just try to make sure he has healthy snacks around....

DD2 wouldn't touch solids until she was 10 months old, and wouldn't eat more than a bite here or there until past her 2nd birthday. She's still not really a big eater, probably about 50/50 now at 27 months.

Dd (13mo) eats solids with gusto. She's down to nursing once a day, the rest of the time I can't interest her in it at all (the world's way too interesting). She'll have a full slice of bread and a fruit for breakfast - well that's what's on the highchair tray when breakfast starts, about half of it gets eaten and the rest is played with and ends up on the floor. Lunch will be some form of protein (meat, beans, cheese) cut into bite-sized pieces, a form of carbohydrates (pasta, rice, bread, potatoes) and veggies or a fruit. Again for dinner. She'll eat pretty much anything.

Dd eats a bite here or there. She is 19 months. She is not a big fan of solids.

Ds (28 mos) didn't really start eating much until just after he turned 2. And still eats very little. As long a weight isnt' dropping and everything else is fine, I wouldn't worry.

DD is 15 months old and also eats quite a bit. However, she goes to daycare everyday. When we were home for 9 days in a row around Thanksgiving, she almost stopped eating solids and went back to nursing almost exclusively.

Hi is this normal for breastfed babies not to want to eat full meals? Im so worried cos my son is 13 months old and he hardly eats solids but he looooves his breastmilk.

[pumpitup]

DS ate plenty of solids at 12 months, mostly because we were eating and he wanted to do what we were doing. He was still nursing avidly as well. The boy loved his boob and his food.

Our son is 15 months, never ate too much. What seems to have worked the best is never giving up trying. Every morning same routine; he never really liked the highchair, but is finally getting used to it. One thing that works very well now is this: I put one bite on fork #1, lay it down. As HE picks it up to take the bite, I am using fork #2 to get another bite ready. As he takes fork #2, I take fork #1 and start over. Basically we trade until he gets bored with this game. He loves it. Good luck!
