Our 14 month old had 5 teeth. In the orphanage, he was eating cereal, pureed vegetables, pureed fruit, and soup thickened with brown bread.



In country, we fed him infant cereal and yogurt. At the breakfast buffet, he ate some breads, whatever hot cereal they had, and a few bites of eggs.



He loved the baby food fruit, but turned his nose up at the baby food dinners. Anything off our plates that was easy to chew/gum was a hit: potatoes, soups, cooked veggies, etc.



The only food we brought from home was gold fish crackers and cheerios, he loved both of them. I think cheerios are readily available there now, so if I were doing it again, I would bring some gerber first foods veggie crackers and get the cheerios there.
