I have a 10 month old who will not try any food that is not in purée form. I've tried offering a huge variety of foods and textures. She gags when anything other than a smooth purée goes into her mouth. An example is Step 3 baby food with the soft food bits. She just gags and then refuses to eat anything else. If I offer her anything else after she has gagged (including smooth purees she will normally eat), she throws a tantrum.
I'm not sure what I can do to transition this girl to solid food. I did not intend to continue with purées after the age of 1. Has anyone ever dealt with this before? Her parents have the same experience at home with her. At her 9 month well visit, her pediatrician told them to just keep putting food in front of her but I've never seen something like this. It goes beyond "picky eater". Thanks for any advice you might have!
