7 month old not eating much. Pushing food mostly

We are having the same issues

Me too. I've tried mashed fruits and yoghurt, but it doesn't seem to suit her taste yet. She refused to eat, making yucky gestures. However, she appears to like lentil and mushroom soup. Other than that just my tits😅

Yes my baby girl is like this too.

Very normal. Food isn’t something they massively understand or always want - 2 teaspoons is enough to fill a baby’s tummy x

Mine likes to try stuff but doesn't eat a lot, I now always go by the saying 'food under one is just for fun' 😅

At this age they’re just learning the skills for how to eat, but their tummies are tiny - the size of their fist, and their main nutrition remains milk until 1+. So don’t stress about it at all - whatever they take in is great and just think of it as practice. Try offering at different times of day and give them time to explore - show them how by doing it with them as well. It’s fun if you don’t worry so much about the mess 😅 also the face of them seemingly not liking something isn’t necessarily that - they have a very strong gag reflex to overcome. You’ve got this mama 💪

Same here
Midwife said that’s okay it all about tastes for now
Said we should increase to 2 by 8 months though

I think 2 teaspoons at 7 months is still quite normal. My first was like this and he eats fine as a 2.5 year old. My almost 7 month old is still on one offering a day and we’re just taking it slowly. Still on one singular food and he only has around 2 tablespoons of it. You see some posts on social media of 7 month olds eating lots but I think that’s more the exception . Their stomachs are only about the size of their fist

Yes my little girl is the same! My first daughter was on a meal a day by now so I wasn’t used to this - but like everyone else says it’s completely normal. All babies are so different!

I feel so much better and more reassured 😅. My Insta feed is full of 7 month olds eating lots and multiple times a day and I'm just like.. 'uhh, what's going on here?'.

My boy does a lot of “experimenting with gravity” and we’re lucky if it goes to his mouth at all

My boy is also like this. It’s stressed me out a lot as my first was eating a whole bowl of weetabix by his 2nd week of weaning 🥲 he was a massive eater! I keep reminding myself that food is for exploring at the moment, and I’m letting him take things at his own pace. My boy is also only having about 1-3 spoons (very small spoons), keeps his mouth shut, doesn’t seem interested at all, etc. We’ll all get there! x

Milk is still source of their food main one this is for them to practise for when food becomes their main source of nutrients after 12months old and they wean off milk.

This is my almost 7mo too. Turns face away. Doesn't play with it at all so blw is not happening. For those that say this is normal, when did it change for you? When did your LO start eating
