Baby not eating solids/puree

that's what I tried this morning! She had 2 tiny spoons and started spitting it out 😭 x

haven't tried rusks, I assumed they weren't very healthy cos of the sugar but I may have to try it 😬 I love rusks myself hahaha x

My boy is the sameeee! He only likes baby snacks like the melty puffs and the cracker bits. He loves the no sugar rusks too! There are some foods he will eat, but most is a tiny taste then throws it. I’m just seeing how time goes and hoping it’ll get better. She will one day eat it may just take a bit more time for her don’t panic!🫶

Could you try reducing the amount of milk she’s having. Is she actually getting hungry enough for food with 5 8oz bottles a day? Try dropping one and give a meal instead when they’re hungry. If they are throwing things, give one tiny piece at a time rather than a bowl or plate full so they can’t throw lots.

omg the melty puffs 😂 mine loves those! She could eat the entire pack. I think some babies just aren't as into food as others. I'm gonna try just doing little snacky bits instead of meals!

yeah I'll give that a go, I probably put too much on the plate so that doesn't help 😂 thank you xx

We had this problem & were offering the same amount of milk so was advised by a GP (on a totally different appointment, I just asked by chance!) to half the amount I’m offering so we’re down to 5oz a feed & offer smaller feeds more often if he’s still hungry (we’re usually on 4 x 5oz a day with the occasional overnight) but it seemed to encourage mine to try/eat more, some days nothing, some days a good amount.. we’ve been doing this about a month now and it’s sloooowly improving 😊

ahhh amazing! Glad it's working well for you. I will do the same and hope things get better. Thank you xxx

So glad I’m not the only one with a baby that’s not interested in eating much only baby snacks 🙏🏻 thought I was doing something wrong 🤣 xx

My son was the same. He would barely touch anything solid at 11 months. He’s 1 in 10 days and the difference is ridiculous. He will literally eat anything I give him now. Just keep trying. I always ate infront of my son. The exact same as what he was having and eventually he just started eating it x

awww no you've done nothing wrong!! It's just harder with some babies than others xx

ah that's interesting! Let's hope it's the same for my daughter too! Xx

No advice but we’ve got the same problem! He’s ok with food, will eat things but not massively bothered. Still having 4x 9oz bottles a day x

hahaha me too! And yes definitely, at the moment milk is definitely more important anyway so I wouldn’t panic, just offer what she likes most and add little new bits here and there!

no problem! It felt strange giving him less milk when he wasn’t eating but he’s gone from eating nothing except melty puffs to weetabix, cheese spread sandwiches, pasta and sauce, lentil Dhal & 2 curries. They’re the only things he will swallow but that’s a million times better than he was a month ago! ☺️

sounds like a huge improvement! Well done to you 💖 currently my daughter is snacking on cheese and tomatoes, we shall see how much she eats!

Sounds like she isn’t hungry as she’s having so many bottles. Try dropping/reducing the milk.
Also, sometimes babies can find too much food overwhelming - just put a few things in front of her rather than the whole plate. This worked for my daughter.

so far I've reduced her feeds to 180ml, we had a good food day yesterday but today she refused to eat any breakfast 😭 let's hope lunch is better!
