I have one year old boy/ girl twins too! Well, they'll be one year on Sunday. I think what they can eat depends a lot of how many teeth they have. My girl has three teeth at the bottom and 5 at the top, so she can eat pretty much anything we have, unless it is too sweet or spicey; my boy only has two teeth at the bottom and two at the top, and they don;t match up, so chewing is more difficult for him and I tend to cut his food up more.
I like feeding both kids what we have because it saves time, but currently they are on a self feed craze and when they handle a spoon themselves, 85% goes on the floor and their clothes, so they get a lot of lightly steemed veggies with a little sauce, slices of fruit, toast, slices egg, cheese etc.

Reason: sorry, didn't realise how old the original post was!
You could put anything in it and they have to 'mush' it through the mesh bags... We did a lot of fruits, breads, steamed veggies, meats...etc etc... It is a brilliant idea really...
We bought a mini food processor. My girls ate 'real food' but just mashed in the processor. It was fantastic. I still use it for cooking so it was a good investment all around. But if we had meat loaf, a veggie, and some rice...I would just grind it up seperately and that is what they ate... we had no issues at all.
I could always add something if need be...a veggie, some olive oil, or whatever to add calories, nutrients or whatever...and they never knew...
Yes - did that with mine - she was 15 months when she joined us but had serious issues with anything she could identify...blend it all together, making a delightful melody of green, yellow and orange, and she would eat it. I found it easiest to add it all to mashed potatoes, but if concerned about healthier eating, try brown rice or...whole grain stuffing. :)
Great for quick soups, too. That way you can control the sodium level.
hii give my 1 year old' schedule is as below breakfast - idli, dosa, (indian food)snack - then we give him a small banana, followed by an ounce or two milklunch - we give him rice with dhal (lentil) cooked with vegetables - carrot / peas / beans etc OR porrige - made of - different pulses, its a dry mix which we have to mix with milk and boil snack - mashed apple OR curd dinner - rice with curdall thru night - brest milk - he wakes up often 3 - 4 times in the night for feeds :-)
i want a tree day meal plan (it should be in proportion size) and a sample menu for a 1 year old baby. futheremore ( a weekly lunch box for a ten year old) please help me as prompt as possible. reply to my email. thank you
my newly one year old decided this week that he doesnt like the things hes been eating..such as eggs for breakfast... cream of potatoe, spagetti-os, rice and beans ect.. seems like he just wants to feed his self. he only has been wanting the gerber munchies. should i stop giving them to him so he will actually sit down and eat a hot meal?
I realize this all started awhile ago but food ideas for a 1 year old....WOW. I have tried all the options posted here...even the "sure things" and my daughter just eats ham. She won't even eat a banana but she keeps getting them and at some point she will eat them. Just don't give up--some say you have to introduce something 20 times before they will eat it. You will be suprised...just the other day my daughter started eating cut up strawberries. She has tossed them from her tray for 2 months and my dogs are healthier then they have ever been from cleaning up the floor but I guess Tuesday was the day---WALA strawberries are one of her favorites this week. Give it time and keep trying everything.
At 1 yr old, they do not need mashed, pureed, infant food, they need finger food. Bits and pieces - watch the sizes as you don't want them choking on big pieces. My boys - and grandkids - loved peas, beans, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, but not asparagus. I had a garden and the kids loved the idea of being able to pick and eat, so long as Mom or Grandma was there. Peas and green beans were their favorites for ease in eating off the vine. But they liked them cooked too. vegetable soup was another favorite - the chunks of veggie are perfect for little hands to pick up, same with chicken soups. By 1, my kids ate what we ate with few exceptions.
does anybody have any advice my son is only a year old and he will only eat stage two baby foods.
