I thought our youngest (now almost 2) was going to have problems (and mommamarci was very helpful to me sharing her experience) because he would not eat anything beyond stage 2 at 14 months...not the tiniest piece of puff, not tiny pieces of fruit in his yogurt...he gagged.

Also, he had never once put anything (toy, fingers, nothing) in his mouth, other than a pacifier, and I thought that was very odd.

We kept trying with the puffs and it took until probably 15 months before he would eat those...but once he did it was like a breakthrough and he's been on solids ever since.

I talked to our ped. about my concerns - she was not concerned, I think because he was thriving - but if it had gone on any longer I definitely would have pursued intervention. Don't hesitate, you know what's best for your child and only you are with him every meal, every day.
