At 12 months old, your toddler can eat almost anything that you are eating with the exception of any foods that could cause him to choke such as popcorn, marshmallows, grapes, cherries, blueberries, olives, peas, hard candy, nuts, etc. The baby's food should always be in small pieces - the size of a cheerio is a good rule of thumb to go by until the toddler starts to chew his food. You should not feed your toddler chocolate until he is 18 months old due to a possible food allergy.

With that said, it can be a challenge to feed a toddler. One night they may love a certain food and then refuse to eat it the next. It is important to stay patient and flexible during this stage. Try to offer food from each of the food groups. If your toddler doesn't eat a vegetable at one meal, try offering some more vegetables at the next meal. Remember, snacks count as food and try to offer healthy snacks. It also helps if your toddler sees you eating the same thing that he is. You can puree fruits and vegetables and try to "hide" them in his favorite foods. Below are some suggestions to try.

Applesauce

Bananas

Pears

Avocados

Grilled cheese or quesadilla

toast with tahini

cheese sticks

muffins (zucchini, carrots, etc.)

sloppy joes

casseroles

sweet potato fries

squash

beans

oatmeal

Also remember that your toddler may have to try a certain food 10 times before he likes it. If you are worried that he's not getting the proper nutrients, be sure to talk to his pediatrician.
