When did your kids stop eating baby food?

I have a 15 month old son that used to eat a combination of table food and baby food but for the past two weeks he only wants the baby food. I feel like he's regressing.

1. both of my kids got off the baby food when they truned one. But every now and then they still eat the apple sauce from the baby food jars but thats only every now and then like once every month or so. Just try feeding him table food more than baby food eventually he would have to get use to it unless hes really picky like my 3 1/2 year old!
2. All 3 children were different - 10 months, 8 months, and 18 months. I wouldn't worry about it, as long as he's eating.
3. it all depend all my three were different one stop at 15 months the other 2 and 2 and half. They are 5,5,and 3 now. In November when one of my so who is 5 now had is tonsils out that's all he would eat it was the stage one. My kids still love it i don't know why either. So don't worry it won't hurt him.
4. My daughter did both for a while...I think she finally stopped taking baby food around 15 months. When you feed him, do you mix both baby food and table food together, or one or the other at different times? At first I would always "dip" whatever table food I was feeding her into the baby food and give it to her like that. then, as she got used to it, it started giving her bites without the babyfood until she no longer wanted the babyfood at all...
5. Seriously, just be glad he's eating. My son did that for a while and then quit eating the baby food altogether. Don't worry. If you are really concerned, just don't offer the baby food anymore, just offer his favorite baby food "flavors" in table food variety. If he is really hungry, he'll eat the table food. Be ready if he doesn't eat, though. Don't worry, he'll eat table food without the baby food when he is ready. Good luck and best wishes.
6. I wouldn't worry about. as long as he is eating and eating healthy foods (and baby food is very healthy) keep offering table food, he will eat it when he is ready. My son ate baby food till he was closer to 2! He loved it!! My daughter was about 15 months when she started eating almost all table food. after that she would still eat is sometimes, and they both ate baby food veggies better than table veggies.
7. I stopped giving my son baby food shortly after he reached the "turkey & rice dinner" stage (about 10 months). Once you hit that stage and beyond, the food tastes awful and isn't very healthy. Read the back of one of those Gerber Graduates and decide if YOU would eat that crap! Kids at that age go through phases - at one point my son stopped eating all meat, then he rejected Cheerios. He would decide he liked something and only want that. Totally normal. I agree with not worrying too much -hey, he's eating. But I would start to wean him off the baby food completely, knowing that he won't starve and will discover new & healthier alternatives.
8. Of course WE wouldn't eat that food. We also aren't 15 months old! whats is Gerber baby food? pure fruits, veggies, meats. almost no salt, no butter, no preservatives or things we cant pronounce. (sorry-your last answer was just stupid and that irritates me) =0) My kids were around 18 months and would still eat it sometimes. I still buy the squash baby food and "hide" it in spaghetti sauce. squash is so healthy. I also buy sweet potato baby food and have it on hand when they want a "treat" and put cinnamon in it. they love it and its so healthy! continue to offer him finger foods and if he wants baby food I would not worry at all. Its healthy, hes eating, he is fine. he will eat more table food when he is ready. I know people that do not give their kids any prepackaged foods or sweets till they are 2 years old (they basically make baby food or fresh veggies, meats, fruits, etc in small bits) they are probably more healthy than rest of us. He will get it in his own time. =0)
