It is really starting to make me crazy..................HELP

NummyMommy replied: I just cut up whatever we have because she wont eat any "special" foods anymore....if she isnt having what everyone else is having it ends up dumped on the floor The only exception is no chokeable foods, I will give her hot dogs though because they are easy to slice and dice. I havent bought nuts in 6 months

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Mackenzie is the same way she wants what everyone else is eating, but she has NO teeth!! I am just cutting everything up in very small pieces. This weekend I bought some toddler foods:

The ravioli (they don't have sauce)

The turkey and chicken sticks

Diced fruits

and she LOVES cheerios!!!!

I hope this girl gets some teeth soon, so she doesn't have to gum stuff anymore!!

NummyMommy replied:
LOL I know how you feel....Faith didn't get teeth until after she was 13 months old then she started getting them 4 at a time. so I am now known as the Queen of Slice and Dice in my house...everything had to be pea sized for her to eat it. I just recently started giving her chunks as she got her molars in....soon I'm hoping to graduate completely to Queen of Fix It and Forget It

Yesterday I gave him small pieces of poached salmon and he liked it! I'm also going to try tofu because it's soft. But we're still on #2 and #3 jars and both rice and oatmeal cereals. I buy Earth's Best organic. Their #3s have a good variety. He eats just about anything!!

not recommended: snow peas, even well cooked. I discovered the hard way that even if you do your best to pull those little stringies off the peas, there's always some left---after a lot of chewing and gagging, we realized that snowpeas are too sophisticated a food for a 2.5 year old.
