Silly, but Worried Momma

So, LO is 10 months old, and she was slow to start eating. She stopped pushing food out at around 8 months, and so up to this point, we have gotten to stage 3 foods, which she is not a huge fan of, but we do carrots, pears, puffs (which she cant get enough of), gerber garden snacks (which are like puffs), and she liked stew veggies. She still gags a good amount, but I really feel like I need to start getting her to eat more table food. I worry that at 12 months when we take her off formula, she wont be getting enough vitamins. I guess I need to stop worrying and know she will figure it out? Our doc told us to stay away from eggs, but it seems like from what I have read from other posts, I could try cheese and yogurt? I just worry she is behind with eating and I dont want to raise a picky eater!! Any help would be great!

I wouldn't worry about this at all. Follow your pedi's guidelines when she gets to 12 months and it will all work out. Some kids just take longer to get the hang of eating. Nothing to worry about :)

Unless your doc said not too because of some dairy issue, cheese and yogurt should be fine. We started at 6 months. For yogurt you just need to get a full fat kind we buy a tub of plain from Trader Joes or the regular grocery store, and then mix in a fruit puree or applesauce or a mashed banana. The kinds that are flavored already usually have extra sugar.

We actually do feed DD whole eggs.  The pedi said they usually say to stay away from eggs until 1 year, but if there is no allergies to food in the family and she didn't have a reaction, then it was fine.

Every baby is different. DDs doctor said she could start having whole milk sometimes in a few weeks. I don't know how I feel about that though. We were also told DD could have eggs, scrambled.  Gerber makes yogurt stuff with whole grains if you haven't tried those. 

We like mini pancakes. I cut those up pretty small and she likes to eat those. 

My baby would eat an entire container of puffs if I would let her. ;)

DS was a little slow to catch on to solids. He is doing good now though. Try offering one finger food plus one puree at each meal (3x a day). The finger food would distract him enough so he would let me feed him the puree (or yogurt, etc).

Here are some of the foods he loved at 10 mos:

- Puffs

- Red grapes cut up into 6 pieces

- Avacado 

- cheese squares

- Peas

- Yogurt (Yo Baby)

- Cottage cheese

- wheat bread torn up into chunks

- Mini pasta wheels 

- Cut up fruits like cantaloupe or honeydew 

Cheese and yogurt are fine now, it's just the egg white that is best avoided before 1 year (but I think egg ingredients in things are fine).
