I amazes me that as infants and toddlers we try to "force" our kids to start eating this or that according to some schedule of time pre-determined by books, or day care workers or some other "professional" or establishment, and then we wonder why there is an obesity epidemic among our children today. First of all, let your daughter discover foods and food textures at her own pace. She won't starve, and eventually she'll eat a larger variety of foods. Second under no circumstances should you let the daycare workers dictate to you how or what she should be eating. It is to bad for them if her eating habits are inconvenient. They are getting paid to deal with that, and if they continue to be a problem, you may want to consider a different center.
