As a first time mom i find it really difficult to feed my 1 year old baby. I have offered different kinds of food, fruits that he might want to eat. But unfortunately he is too picky. I want him to eat plenty so that he will grow healthy. Need help here, i want to give him the best.How can i do it?

My son started to eat solid foods when he was 6 months old. What we gave him is mashed banana with a few amounts of milk. He really likes it. As he grew up we tried the commercially available baby foods and he really likes the vegetable and fruits flavors.
We are really lucky enough that our son is not picky with the food he eats. He even likes veggies and fruits rather than meats. He also like fish.
One thing you can do to your baby is put some fun on the food he eats. Don't use to make him eat the same food daily but make some variation.
If he does not want fresh fruits, try to make some cooked foods like applesauce, mashed veggies or include cooked veggies (mashed) in the commercially available baby foods.

Lucky for you you have such. I will try to do such. He likes to eat some veggies but that is occasionally. I tried the commercially ready baby food and he also like the banana flavor that's when i started to give him fresh banana. afterwards he don't like anymore i introduce another fruit. Now i realize that we mother have to be creative in preparing foods for our babies.

Maybe he is already bored with the banana flavor. We tried buying baby foods in small packs but different flavors so that he will not get bored with just one flavor. Also, we added mashed veggies like squash and carrots. Mashed potato is nice too. Try to observe what are the foods he doesn't want to eat and don't give him those foods.
You are right, as mothers, and fathers too, you must know how to make your baby foods interesting to your baby. You can have the ready made or just make your own at home.

My eldest son who is 25 months now does not even still eat a lot. When he was 1 yr old, after two spoonfulls, he will stop eating already. He will resist and run away from you. What I did was, I just see to it that he regularly drinks his milk so he can at least still get the nutrition he needs. My baby remained healthy and smart.

True, after 2 spoonful he runs away from me and no matter what i do he don't want to eat anymore i even get mad at him sometimes because I'm worried about his health. I just smiled when i found out that he is learning naughty things, what he do because i really forced him to eat he will eat and gather all food in his mouth until he just turn his back from me and spoil all the food from his mouth. I also make sure he drink his milk. Good thing is that he contentiously drinks his milk.

Yes im trying to mix his food with other food he sometimes like to eat but he only like that food in a very short period of time.
