Honestly, still after reading your posts I wouldn't give in! Maybe it is because I am stubborn too but I would never let a child win over me. I am the boss and it is what it is. Don't like what I am serving then too bad, go hungry. My 12 month old started at daycare a month ago on baby food and mom still holding his bottle. In the last 4 weeks he has been switched completely over to solid food (cut into small chunks) and his formula in a sippy cup. He is getting the hang of feeding himself too which is something he wouldn't do before.

Don't give up.
