Not Eating the Same

Hi, my son was about that same age when he decided he didn't like baby food anymore. My problem is that he's now 13 months old and barely has his bottom teeth! If your daughter doesn't have top & bottom teeth (or gums of steel, like my son) then I would just get cans of vegetables (rinse them to wash away excess salts) and fruits (also rinse if they are not in natural juices) to feed her and let her feed herself. She may just simply be an independant child and decided that she doesn't like baby food. My son won't even let us feed him anymore. The baby crackers, Zwieback toast are wonderful. If you need a protein source, try vienna sausages. They are very soft and you can slice them up into smaller more manageable chuncks. When she gets a bit older and your pediatrician clears canned tuna, try that. Also, peanut butter is great mixed in with their baby oatmeal. Makes it thicker and that can help. My son hated running oatmeal, so when he was about 9 months I switched him to regular oatmeal and he loved it. I hope that helps you out!

Babies are sensitive to textures and since she had bronchitis, she probably had a lot of phlegm and mucus. I was giving my baby normal food as soon as he had teeth or if it is soft enough to gum. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this! Use your judgement and try different things.

if you started the baby food at the same time the cold came on the baby could be associating the food causing it's sickness. it's throat may be still a little touchy and solids may cause irritation same goes for the stomach. get back into the solids slowly but remember still plenty of fluids. if it persists longer than 2 weeks call the doctor.

I have a 7 month old baby who does the same thing. Every time she gets sick she will eat only what she can feed herself. Then a couple of weeks after she will start to eat babyfood. Right now she is on augmentin and won't eat a thing i feed her. Just remember the formula is enough to get her through and she will eat when she is ready.

Hi! I live in Oxford and to and my son did the same thing. It seems to be a stage they go through. Right at about 7 months, I just gave up and gave him reg food. He is 13 months now and is fine. Try cut up banan's! Gppd luck!
