DH in convinced that we're going to be pureeing Kael's food until he's 10 years old! We might as well just give him a straw to eat dinner with.
I've been trying to introduce more textured foods like chicken pieces, toast, pasta, rice basically anything bigger than puree style and Kael has just been refusing it. He's eaten Mac n' Cheese before so I KNOW he's capable of eating lumpy stuff. In fact, he's eaten all the above mentioned foods before and now he won't.
Earlier he would eat toast strips, pancakes, cheese bits but he's been refusing them all for weeks now. He not only spits out all his food, he'll also stick his hand into his mouth and PULL whatever's left in there, out! Then he'll scrape his tongue against his teeth to make it extra clean!! ARGHHH!!!!
I've been increasing the texture in his foods but he'll spit that out too! Even the soft stuff like tofu and canned fruits are refused. What else can I do?
