Hi lovely people, I just wanted to ask if any of you had experienced your LO in and around 8 months of age just going off food, my LO is
Only taking cold foods - she hasn’t any teeth yet, but it feels as if she’s been teething for months… she has also reduced down her milk.

Babies supposed to eat, only when they have teeth. below 1, introducing solid it’s just merely exploration for babies. Main food is still breastmilk.

Babies can eat before they have teeth - mine was a great eater before his came through and then actually found them a bit of an annoyance haha. At 8 months it could be anything, totally normal for them to be up and down with intake; if she’s happy with cold food then I’d just keep serving cold and room temp food alongside something warm so she’s still getting the exposure x

At 8 months you want baby trying new things etc.They only need about 2 spoonfulls of food.You see loads of babies eating whole jars at this age but its just not realistic.At this age its only to get baby used to it and to try new things.Bubbas main source of nutrients is still formula or breastmilk

My daughter went through something similar and it was because she started to get her first couple teeth which also felt like forever. I exclusively pumped so when she wasn’t thrilled with bottle feeding because of the bottle nipple we tried a straw cup and she used that. The cold food also is probably helping ease the pain on her gums which is why she might be preferring that. If you ware worried about them not getting enough Brest milk you can mix some in with baby oatmeal or other items they are eating. Feel free to message me if you have any questions ☺️

My son was the same way in the beginning he didn’t like warm foods since 6 months always cold even his milk😳 maybe try a new food my son usually wanted something new every few days
