[quote=Anonymous]Hey DCUM,

I'm a FTM, so try to be kind. My DD will be a year old in a few weeks and I'm worried that she isn't really eating very much. She probably gets 90-95% of her daily nutrition from formula still. While she will actually eat a couple of things (graham crackers, Gerber "puffs", and cheerios), it seems like most things she'll chew and spit out. She doesn't seem to have an issue with trying things and seems to like the flavor, but so far, not much is actually making it's way into her stomach. She'll spit out pasta, fruits, cooked veggies... really anything that isn't one of the three items listed above. She will drink out of a sippy cup so we'll be transitioning from formula to actual milk soon. We tried jarred purees for a while but stopped when she started actively feeding herself the items mentioned above. She has an appointment to see her pediatrician for her 1 year check-up soon so of course I will check in with them about this. Just wondering in the interim... anyone have experience with this? How "normal" is this at her age? Any good tips/tricks for getting her to eat more solid foods? Any particular foods that I should try? Really any advice would be helpful! Thanks in advance! [/quote]
