A. It's common for some toddlers to be picky eaters, but there are strategies you can try to encourage your 15-month-old to eat solids: 1. **Gradual Introduction:** Mix purees with small amounts of soft solids, gradually increasing the proportion of solid food over time. 2. **Different Textures:** Offer a variety of textures and types of solids, like soft-cooked vegetables, small pieces of fruit, or soft scrambled eggs. 3. **Finger Foods:** Provide finger foods that are easy to handle, like small pieces of soft cheese, well-cooked pasta, or soft fruit slices. 4. **Interactive Eating:** Let your baby explore food with their hands and involve them in mealtime. 5. **Consistency:** Keep offering solids regularly, even if your baby initially rejects them. 6. **Model Eating:** Eat with your baby and show them how to eat different types of food. If the issue persists or you have concerns about their nutrition, consulting a pediatrician or a pediatric dietitian can provide personalized guidance.
