Doesn't eat table food only pure or baby food.

My 20 Months old Dauther does not like to eat table food I have been offered to her table food since she was 1 year but she still refuse, she does not show any interest in food and my best way to get her to eat baby food is to get her focused on something else like coloring or playing with play dough to take her mind off eating. I could use any advice or help other parents might be able to offer me as I am worried.

Her weight is on the 50th percentile and her height is between the 25-10th percentile which indicates she is normal for her age. She has to be eating or getting some nourishment to have a good weight like that. If she is not 'eating' regular food, maybe she needs to learn how to chew and swallow food. Some children just do not know how to do it and need to be taught. They need to learn how to chew and swallow food properly; it is not really an instinct behavior like sucking. Has she been evaluated on how to chew food? If not, then suggest getting her evaluated, by going to your MD, and start therapy so she can start to eat regular food.
