We have been having the hardest time trying to transition Ethan to table food. We have been trying for the past 4 months but feel like we have had very little success. We have tried letting Ethan feed himself with his fingers and/or a spoon or fork but he just plays. I understand that is part of the learning process but he just plays and doesn't eat and is still hungry. Sometimes we can get him to eat what we are eating, but not very often. He loves fresh fruit, but hates meat and vegetables. He used to love homemade pizza, but now he won't eat it. Right now he loves black beans, but I'm afraid that he will just stop eating them one day, just like everything else. I have even tried mashing food to see if he just likes the mushy texture, but he won't take it. He has 12 teeth, 4 of which are molars, so it's not like he doesn't have the teeth to chew. And I don't have the heart to just let him go hungry.
I talked to our pediatrition at Ethan's 15 month check-up, and he said to just keep trying. That was a month ago. I'm getting so frustrated and I'm so tired of getting stressed out at meal times. If you have any suggestions please help me!
