My son used to like certain baby foods like chicken noodle and now refuses to eat them. He only wants cheezits, baby animal crackers, some adult food and bottles. What can I do? Is he just going through a phase?

Have you tried making homemade baby food? It's really easy and I made it for both of my kids when they started refusing baby food. Homemade food made from fresh veggies and fruits taste MUCH better than jar food. All you have to do is cook the food to a soft stage and puree it in a blender. Some fruits like banana you can just mash up and feed to him. You can also freeze the pureed food in ice cube trays so you don't waste a lot. I looked up homemade baby food recipes on the net and found LOTS of ideas for different foods for my babies. Good luck!

Chances are that your baby is ready for table food and its ok because you can blend some table food and try him on it,my last baby never eat baby foods and i dont blame him because if you haven't taste those are really nasty...babies have taste too!! they just can't come up with the word ewww this taste like poop.wht i suggest is to go to the nutricionist and they will help you with that,they will tell you the things you can blend and give to the baby.dont worry about it so much,your baby is making choices and that is wonderful.good luck.

They will like some foods one day and hate them the next. It is perfectly normal. Some days I am just thankful that my son is eating something. I learned that if I leave a healthy snack where he can see it, when he wants some he will just get it on his own.

Childrens tastes often change while they are still young. He is just testing out his taste buds. While some children go through fazes where they will only eat on type of food at a time. This is normal behavior so don't let it stress you out.

LOL.... that's totally normal. I have a 20 month old whose appetite changes every hour. One day she'll like cheese and the next she couldn't care less. You just have to be patient and try new things and then go back to the stuff he used to like. I bet he'll love it. That's the way my daughter is. Just keep trying. It's pretty much trial and error. I promise you he won't starve ;)

This is called a "food jag" most kids go through it and you don't have to do anything. It is OK.
