I have a beautiful, healthy 7 month old daughter who breast feeds like a champ! But recently has decided she has no interest in eating food. She started on solids about 8 weeks ago - I make all her food from organic produce and my breast milk - and she was loving it from the start. About a week ago she started to do 'raspberries' when I tried to feed her (which she thinks is very funny!) and now she just gets angry when I even try. Even her previous favorite foods - bananas, avocados! wants nothing to do with them. I'm not worried about her nutrition, but I am worried about creating an aversion to food. What do I do? I tried feeding her when I know she's hungry - she just wants to breastfeed. Can I start soft finger foods when she has had so little practice with eating solids? Help!
Both my daughters have done this. If she has any teeth, you might try something like croutons or zwieback toast, or even something like cheerios, but she might be a little young for that.
Just keep spinning the wheel - offer her more stuff. At that age, both my girls LOVED pears, apples, bananas, blueberry's...maybe mix some of it with some cereal to offer a little more texture or something.
Good luck!
Sure! You can start finger foods. Small pieces of potatoes, bananas, avacado, etc...Just keep trying and I'm sure she'll come around.
Any chance she's teething? Lots of kids revert back to constant nursing when their gums hurt. Try teething tablets or gel (Hylands has a teething gel now!!) and then offer her solids and see if it makes a difference.
Keep up the good work!
have you tried giving het puffs yet?
