Our powers of creativity and problem solving have really had to come into play while feeding Greg lately. He's decided he doesn't like baby food anymore. When this happened with Charlotte we sort of had a household sigh of relief because she just started eating what we ate. We can't really do that with Greg because much of what we eat has diary in it. (Did I mention his allergy appointment isn't until August? A little perturbed about that. I'm so not breastfeeing for 15 months.) Another little hitch in the feeding plan is that the only finger food that he will pick up and eat is cheerios. All other food needs to be big enough for him to hold in his hand and bite off of. That's tricky when you only have four teeth.
The other night we gave him peas (some frozen, some cooked) for dinner because he used to like to pick them up and eat them. Not that night. He didn't throw a fit or fling them anywhere. He just sat in his high chair grabbing them and stuffing them in the seat of the high chair. He had this look on his face like he was being so sneeky and we wouldn't know that the hoards of peas in the seat meant he didn't eat any.
So it looks like my son is going to live off of breastmilk, cheerios and bananas for a while now.

Just like his mom...all he wants to eat is breakfast all day!
Try Kipper Snacks, it's my favorite
Corn chex and rice chex are gluten-free; maybe just stick with rice chex for right now since you don't know about corn. Might consider Pediasure if there is a dairy free option. Also, there are yogurts that are soy-based if soy seems safe.
And if you just need some moral support trying to deal with a way picky-eater, well I've been there, done that so feel free to give me a call anytime.
