Baby point blank refusing food

Was hoping someone’s had a similar experience and could provide some advice. Baby girl is 9 months old so we are a few months into weening now and she was doing so well up till about 3 weeks ago and now most of the time she will just point blank refuse to even try foods without even knowing if she’ll like it or not. When she can see it’s not a purree she will scream and scream till I give her a purree. But she was eating solids before. I have tried feeding her it myself, her feeding herself with her hands and with a pre loaded spoon, putting the food on the high chair tray, in a bowl, on a plate, eating it myself to encourage her, she eats with us, without us but nothing seems to change this new reaction to foods and I feel at a loss😓 I have been told we should just not give her anything if she’s not going to even try what we giving her, instead of giving in after half an hour and giving her a purree, as if she knows she’ll eventually get a purree she will keep screaming and not try food but I don’t want her to be hungry. Any advice would be really appreciated as meals times are just stressful and dread them now🤦🏽‍♀️

Hwyy my little boy is like this so I just started giving him purees different kinds. And along with some finger foods just so he gets some food and nutrition inside him . I do keep offering finger foods and everyday ill make the puree just that little bit thicker and tey tonwean him off the purees good luck . Sorry not much advice but following tips too . X

Hey @Ash we are doing the same tbf but she will just launch the finger foods unless it’s a melty stick🤦🏽‍♀️😅 hopefully one day they will just go these solids are alright actually😅 x

@Emily ahaha smart girl . She knows the difference eh . Yeah exactly hopefully . But I read somewhere blw is kind of a new thing and b4 age 1 it's all about exploring I'm sure back in the days it was mainly purees and we all turned out good hehe. Good luck x

Mine won’t eat a single thing and never has😅 it’s becoming very draining

@Bethany It really does become draining, especially when you’ve made something from scratch and put time and effort in🤦🏽‍♀️ I have recently just started making more baby friendly versions of our meals so then at least it doesn’t goto waste. It’s less disheartening x
