Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

Just curious....

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

My dd was off baby food at around 11 months. She refused to eat it. She loves yogurt (she is 14 months now), and she eats everything we eat.

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

I don't think there is anything necessarily wrong with it, but, at that age, my kids were on solids/table foods.

They still eat yogurt though.

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

IMO, no - but every baby is different.

Both of mine were on mostly table food by 9-10 months. They both do enjoy yogurt, but I don't equate that with baby food.

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

My daughter still eats some baby food but not very often. she won't eat fruit unless it's pureed though so I would rather her get some fruit in the form of baby food than none at all. It's kind of odd though because i find it gives her very loose stools now. She just turned 14 months.

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

By that age my DD was on all table food and I only gave her a jar of baby food if I didn't have any fruits or veggies in the house. I used them as a supplement to table food.

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

well dd is going to be a year next week and she still eats atleast one jar of stage 3 baby food a day. BUT she has NO teeth so its sorta hard to find table food that she can fully eat yet..

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

at that age my son was completeing off baby food he ate whatever we ate, he still loves yogurt to this day and is 2

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

My DS is 11 months old and he is still eating both stage 2 and stage 3 baby food...he still has no teeth! he also loves table food as well, he will eat pretty much anything we give him, but for the most part, he is still mostly on baby food and yogurt

At almost 14m, my DS still has stage 2 veggies & fruits almost every day. That's in addition to table food though. He loves bananas and carrots but if we don't have any in the house, he happily eats the puréed stuff.

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

I should have clarified. My nephew has 3 meals a day consisting of a full jar of stage 2 baby food a bowl of baby cereal and a yogurt. He gets table food here and there but not everyday. He has at least 8 teeth. I just feel like this could cause him to have issues with food???

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

I don't think so, all my kids were eating table foods at that age for a few months.

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

Every baby is different but both my DD's were off baby food at around 11 months.

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

I agree with "every baby is different"

My son was on baby food a little over a year because he had a horrible gag reflex and would projectile vomit most solid foods. At 4.5, he still pukes a few times a week or month.

He was usually able to hold down the baby food pretty well. But not stage 3 - that was too chunky for him.

ETA: I just saw your other post. Maybe he refuses to eat most solids and they're just trying to get him to eat SOMETHING.

Every kid is different. Personally, I had my kids off purees and baby food at 8 months, but they could handle it. I know many babies who had a strong gag reflex until well after a year or were sensitive to the textures of table food.

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

i still had jack on some jar foods and oatmeal / yogurts b/c he wasnt too interested in solids yet. i started using the gerber graduate meals after that for a while and he liked the raviolis and pastas.

he was picky that way.

i have a friend whose daughter is going on 3 and still has to eat some jar foods b/c certain textures she wont eat.

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

it could just be that that's the only thing he will eat. My DS was a great eater, but recently he refuses pretty much anything but purees and cereal. He just got his molars and I'll try to give him table food, he shakes his head no, it ends up on the floor and then I'll give him baby food to get him to at least eat something. Honestly I wouldn't judge if you don't know the back story.

I don't think this is a question of "should" or should not. Every child is different. I'm not sure what you are asking. I think at this age some kids are and some kids are not and they all end up ok in the end. By the way, this is per my ped.

Re: Should a 13 month old still be eating mostly 2nd stage food, baby food and yogurt?

My firstborn was on half tablefood/half jarred food at 13 months, my middle baby was fully on tablefood by 13 months, my third baby had a harder time with tablefood and was on lots of jarred food and yogurt at that age. At 15 months he's now on tablefood and yogurt/cereal.

Maybe you should ask if you're curious.
