Stuck deciding what to feed your year old? Here's something for you!
At 1 year old your baby can now handle a lot of variety as long as it is cooked well. Avoiding hard chunky food is recommended, everything else is acceptable unless your baby has allergies to certain types of foods (Such as Lactose intolerance).
Now is a good time to remove purees from your child's diet completely to avoid problems later, the baby can now safely chew and digest a majority of the adult foods.
If your baby is still reluctant to hard, chewy food, don't force feed her. Introduce it gradually starting with the things she's acquired a taste for. Eventually, she'll get used to it and prefer it over liquids.
