Unfortunately she won't eat the rafferty's now either (her dad has to do the dinner thing as I work till late) hopefully its a phase and she'll get over it soon enough!
With DS1 at about the same age I had a huge "battle" with him one dinner time. It lasted about an hour - he didn't want to eat his lasagna (rafferty's too). I had Dad coaching me through trying to put the food into his mouth and eventually I won. Now he eats everything I give him, I don't give him extra food etc. With DS2 I give him a plate of what we're having, and yogurt after that I feed him (he feeds himself with his hands/fork the mains). DS1 definately less messy than DS2! But I think both approaches work - is she still on milk? (booby or cows')? If so then that's pretty much a complete meal anyhows.
My DD is 18 months & hasn't ever been spoon fed... She's a great eater, but not a fan of mashed stuff. Will drink yoghurt from a foil pack, but gags from a spoon
Some days she just eats & eats, others she hardly touches anything.
She actually usually eats half her dinner from the bowl, then will tip the rest out & eat it from the table
