Nisha,
At what age does a infanthood end?
Your daughter is already on solids at 13 months?
I assume that she has stopped nursing.
When did she stop?
Michio Kushi suggests that children breastfeed until at least 18 months.
I wonder if a rushed maturity of a infant into childhood and then a child towards adulthood does not strongly contribute to that rebellion that some of our society's teens go through.
I imagine that children that bond well with their mothers while they are infants, develop into children that listen to their parents and achieve many successes on their way towards adulthood.
What do you think?"
To counterbalance such an early development maybe one could slow down a little, hmm?
Anyway you asked about feeding this young one.
Get a copy of
Cynthia Lair's Feeding the Whole Family: Whole Foods Recipies for Babies, Young Children and Their Parents
(
http://www.feedingfamily.com/ ).
With Dad, one could go in several different directions from being a sneaky organic cook who sticks more and more whole foods into his diet (unnoticed) until he is finally eating a vegan/vegetarian/macro diet with no complaints to the other extreme ...where you both go on a 10 day camping trip where the only thing to eat are whole grain and vegetables with all the vegan/macro extras like sea weeds and fermented foods.
Camp where it's cold at night so that one has a hearty appetite during the early morning and soon, your hubby will love eating whole foods
I imagine that there are a good number of approaches one can take besides those but they might work for starters.
By the way, are you a stay at home mom, have a part or full time job?
Mother's activity lifestyle largely affect her and her family's dietary direction and eating habits.
I hope I've answered at least part of your question and given you food for thought, without sounding too judgemental.
Thank you, very much.

My husband, who is not macro (any suggestions on living with and raising your child with a meat eating/coke drinking partner would be appreciated) gave her a good size fruit smoothy while I was away at school tonight and I just fear that she is not eating a very balanced diet. She has had a stuffy nose for a few days now.
I would love suggestions and feedback.
Thanks,
