First you will need to find out from the mom about what is being served at home. Is mom still feeding puree and letting child have a few snack type foods to fingerfeed? Does child not eat most foods at home either? By 12 months they should be eating pretty much what the others eat except for raw veggies and stuff that requires a lot of chewing such as some meats. For veggies I serve the frozen mixed veggies and then they can pick and choose what they want to eat. Boil some pasta such as basic elbows. Add a bit of margarine and mine like it with a sprinkle of celery salt but serve without the spices if they want bland. Grilled cheese cut into small pieces such as 16 pieces instead of 4 - the idea being they will stuff so make them smaller. For snack I use dry cereal a lot for toddlers figuring it has the same taste qualities as crackers but added nutrients and a whole box is cheaper. Mine like Quaker corn bran - don't let the size fool you they are hollow inside.
