16 month old twins -eating habits?


My babies were born at 33 wks. I´m a full time working mother who hasn´t had a break for the last 16mths. My babies have just begun to walk and I´ve already tried giving them normal food...they just play with it or choke and vomit(especially if they´ve just had soup or puré). One of them is an expert at vomiting. What is the best way to go about introducing normal food? I´ve tried teaching them how to chew but they never use their teeth to do it (just the tongue and the roof of their mouths instead). Otherwise they are developing normally. Does anyone have any tips or food recipes for 16 mth olds?

Answers:
try small chunks of fruit like pineapple or mango. These are soft enough that their teeth will easily chew it. Also try cherrios they will get soggy in the kids mouth. Avoid pureed foods and soup if they vomit when eating it
maybe try not giving them they soup or puree first so they're a bit hungrier and also check that they're not drinking too much milk and are getting too well noursihed that way to be interested in other food. check out annabel karmel's recipe books for kids or check her out online - i found she had some pretty good ideas for my own daughter's developing taste buds.
