Re: what to give DS on his 1st B-day! he only eats purees.
Have you tried softer finger foods like steamed veggies or fruit or bread at all? It's normal to gag at first while they get used to the sensation of solid food.
My son could only eat two foods when he turned one (because of allergies) so I took a baked sweet potato and a peeled pear and pureed them together, lined a small round tupperware container with plastic wrap, packed the puree into the ziplock and let it chill for a while, then turned it over on a plate and gave the plastic a tug. The puree came out in a cupcake shape and I sprinkled it with powdered sugar.
