Goodness I can't get my one year old to eat anything these days! She likes any type of pasta and will eat yogurt but she is in one of those phases where she throws most of what I give her. She won't eat any fruit and barely any vegetables. Hates bread unless it's toasted. Doesn't like meat. I'm stumped!
What are some things that your 1 year old likes to eat?

Some of her favs:
Berries, grapes, apples, bananas, pretty much any type of fruit
Cucumbers, avocados, peas, corn, carrots, tomatoes
PB toast/sandwiches, rice, sweet potatoes, crackers with hummus, any and all pasta
Scrambled eggs, bbq chicken, beef, yogurt, granola

@Bao: Whatever I'm eating, she wants to have which I think has helped her get exposed to different foods. Sometimes I'll pretend to eat something so she'll eat it, lol. She learned how to sign "more", and that seemed to help her eating habits. I've learned she has weird tastes and will sometimes refuse something only to have it become her favourite food in a week, so I just keep offering. She loves meat/veggies as long as it is dipped in something - tzatzki, hummis, ranch... And if it's a food she can feed herself, extra bonus points.
Sorry, not really a lot of help - just some things that have worked for us !

@Charm54: Yes, my LO wants what I have. I have stopped putting food on her tray at dinner and just give her bites off my fork.
We've had luck with grilled cheese sandwiches lately. She's always loved broccoli and pretty much any berry. Oh, and she loves string cheese.

@Charm54: Do you give her one food item at a time or put several items in front of her? Or do you just always feed her from your plate?

For breakfast he usually has: blueberry pancake or a waffle with pb on it. Then some chunks of banana and strawberry. Then Greek yogurt.
Lunch we struggle with. He has a couple pieces if what I eat and then a pouch.
Dinner bites of everything we have and a bit of a pouch and another yogurt.
Snacks include fruit and animal crackers.
He loves cheese too - does E like cheese? Crackers?

@Mrs. Champagne: She loves crackers, and cheese most days!

My LO will eat just about anything besides mushy things like cooked peppers, tomatoes, avocado, etc. Her favorites are anything crunchy, little roundish things like peas and beans, just about any fruit, bread, fish, chicken and cheese. Sometimes she will throw or refuse things but it isn't that she doesn't like the taste it just wasn't served the right way for her. She much prefers things to be given to her in a bowl or on a plate and with utensils 
She wants to feed herself like we do I guess.
I am surprised that your LO wont eat fruit - that seems to usually be a toddler favorite! I would experiment with feeding her in different ways. Good luck!

@Bao: oh I should add I out usually one piece at a time on his plate or he will feed it to the dogs. Unless it's something he really loves like strawberries. I also give him bites of everything I eat because he stands at my legs and begs like a dog!! I think that helped get him used to flavours. He hates some stuff though. Like broccoli.

Awesome that she's eating crackers! I'm too chicken to try hard foods.
We are lucky and our kid likes nearly everything, except broccoli.
She especially loves oatmeal + peanut butter + fruit or smoothies for breakfast. For lunch, she's into any combo of bananas, beans, rice or pasta, avocado, pb bread, corn or other finger food veggies. For dinner, she eats a modified version of what we eat. If we have tacos, she has a deconstructed version.

Oh & I give multiple things at a time usually.
& I think that playing with play food made her more open to eating things like broccoli and lettuce which she refused before she got fake ones

Breakfast: oatmeal mixed with banana and prune puree/ Multigrain waffle/ diced pear and apple/toast/yogurt
Snacks: Annies Cheddar bunnies/applesauce/diced prunes/crackers with hummus/banana with peanut butter/Multigrain toasted oats
Meals: cheese ravioli/black beans/baked sweet potatoes/avocado/veggie pouches/mini turkey apple meatballs/spaghetti squash with pasta sauce
I can't get him to eat any fruit other than apples, pears or banana, and he still won't eat a veggie not in pouch form. We rotate the above and sometimes will add a grilled cheese sandwich in too. It's not a huge variety but I'll take it for now.

@Bao: I use divided plates and put her foods all at once on those. She likes the variety and picking between the different foods. Sometimes if I want her to try a certain food (did this with cucumber a few weeks ago) and give it another chance, I'll give it to her alone as a snack or "appetizer" before her real meal.

@fairy: I know, like none. She will pick at a banana but that's it. LO1 isn't the biggest fan either but will at least eat a couple of different fruits.
@littlejoy: She has crackers every single day, several different types! But that's not really "healthy" or a meal
@Tanjowen: she does like oatmeal! So there's that...

@Charm54: My kid would throw that plate so far...haha! She's a monster.
cantaloupe / 6885 posts
@Bao: haha get an EZ-PZ mat! Its divided, sticks to the table so it can't be thrown, and is made of silicone so it can be thrown in the dishwasher! It's the bomb

@Bao: @Charm54: We use divided plates too. She usually takes a few bites, then flips it over. It's the worst.

14 months. She eats anything unless it's mushy or pureed (stuff like applesauce, yogurt, mashed potatoes, etc.)
She literally eats everything we eat! Her favorite food is scrambled eggs.

@Bao: your youngest LO has just turned 1 right? We went through a very picky phase from around 12-16 months where she would only eat about 10 foods (mostly fruit, puffs, cereal, porridge, peas, toast) and then about a month ago she snapped out of it and became much more adventurous...now she wants pretty much whatever we're eating and there have been occasions when I've put something new on her plate and she picks it up and eats it straight away! So weird!

@Mrs. Champagne: what kind of cheese does your LO like?
@Bao: M is the same but it's partially my fault for being nervous about him eating (which is irrational, I know). I'm glad you started this thread.
