Eating solids help!!
How do I get my baby to stop screaming & crying when it’s time to eat?? We give her half her bottle then her purees then the other half of her bottle. Once we take the bottle to give her the purées she screams & cries & this goes on for 20+ minutes every single time. Because of the screaming & crying, she’s constantly choking on her food, to the point she’ll vomit sometimes. Not every time, but it’s happened a handful of times. She does this with every single food, even the ones she likes. She’s 7 months today & this has been going on for about a month or longer. If we try to give her the purées before her bottle, she won’t eat them & will just scream & cry for her bottle. If we try to give them after she finishes her bottle, she’s too full & will refuse to eat the purées. We try to soothe her & calm her down but nothing works. If she eventually calms down, we’ll give her a bite or 2 of purées & it’s back to screaming & crying. Which leads to choking & sometimes vomiting. The only way she fully calms down is when we give her the bottle back. I don’t know what else to do?? Someone please help!

She’s hungry. She doesn’t understand what food is yet. Give food when baby is not hungry to begin introducing flavors and textures and the idea of eating. Milk should remain the primary source of nutrition through 12 months, so don’t offer food instead of milk. Offer it after baby has already had their milk (at that age, I think it’s like an hour after taking a bottle). Over time, they will naturally eat more and as you get to 12 months, food can begin replacing milk as primary sustenance.
