Baby still refusing food

Dont put any pressure on eating at first its all new alot of the time if you let them be with the food and you just eat your own they start to mess with it and eventually put it in there mouths its very messy to start

Is he mouthing other objects? Or does he not like putting things in his mouth at all?

Are you giving him the same foods you are eating while you're also eating?

Have you tried making it a game? Maybe coming away from the highchair and on to a messy play tray, so its less formal? Like a messy picnic?

Its like they say, all babies do things at their own pace. I would speak to GP or health visitor for advice, theres no harm.

I think if you feel like you've tried everything, then see what the professionals say maybe. They might have some ideas.

Its so hard because kids really do make up their own rules and we just try to play catch up all the time. He will do it eventually, its just frustrating not know when that will be. If he needs to stay on formula a bit longer then give him what he needs until he's ready.

We started weaning at 6 months and he did not eat anything until 12 months old. Everything I put in front of him, he had this disappointed look like how dare I feed him this rubbish. Very very slowly he started eating after his 1st birthday.

One thing I would say, maybe check how much formula he's having over 24 hours and also what times he's having that. He might not feel hungry enough to try solids.

My daughter was the same she just turned 11 months
She was getting full on her milk (breast milk in a bottle) and then would only eat small amounts of solids or even just refuses
The health visitor told me to start offering solids first and see how that goes and honestly it's been a game changer, she's still not a massive eater but she eats enough so that she dropped a bottle through the day and she even snacks on fruits now
I think as they get to 10-11 months their appetite increases as well so you should see an improvement soon
I can feel your pain, I used to get so frustrated with my daughter but it will get better xx
