Only eats jar food.

My daughter is 16 months and only eats jar food. She eats Cherios herself. She wants to eat what's on my plate and I let her but she only takes a couple of bites and is done. Should I be concerned? I'm also so afraid that if the pieces are too big she may choke. She likes to put a bunch of food in her mouth then try to swallow. Any suggestions on what I should be feeding her to get her to want table food instead of jar food?

I've tried giving her Stage 3 foods and she'll take a bite or two then won't eat it until I put it through the blender. I'm always afraid that she's not going to get enough to eat if I give her a plate of what we are eating. I will keep trying. Thanks for the advise!

all babies are different. you just have to keep offering it to her. Does she eat the stage three foods? As long as you give he small pieces and it's nothing hard for her to chew she should be able to swallow it fairly easy. My daughter shovels her food too! lol I just give my daughter what she can eat of what we are eating in a bowl with a spoon and let her play with it at first...it always eventually ends up in her mouth. Good Luck and God Bless
