Please tell me my child is not the only one that basically doesn’t eat any solids!?

She won’t let me spoon feed her or attempt to do it herself. Same with the dipping spoons. She plays with finger foods but hardly ever puts them to her mouth. The only things she goes for are strawberries and melty puffs! I’m sure the only answer is to persevere but I thought we’d be doing better than this six weeks into weaning!

lol! We are doing BLW - started at six months, Eden turned 8 months on the 1st and still not eating food properly yet 😂 I’m just going with it and hoping for the best - she wont survive off licks and nibbles forever! As long as they’re still having their milk they’ll be fine :) food for first year isn’t as important as their milk :) x

Yes! My baby too. She will not eat anything. We’ve been trying for 2 months now and not much luck. But if I give her finger foods, like u said, she’ll play with them maybe give it one lick and then drop it… it’s a lot harder than I thought it was going to be!

Also - if it reassures you any more, she’s my fourth and we did BLW with the last two and they were exactly the same just didn’t really take off with solids till around 9 months. They’re now 13 and about to turn 9 and they don’t stop eating! 😂 x

My little ones the same. She couldn’t care less. I’m excited if she takes a lick 😂! Tonight she enjoyed frozen yoghurt, took few licks so felt very successful. I’m doing mix BLW and puree. She won’t let me spoon feed at all.

I had to have my son's Dad feed him because he refuses to take a spoon or bottle from me. He's too attached to the boob to take anything else😂 Maybe see if a family member or friend can get her to take a spoon.

Mine was the same till about a week ago, she will now let me spoon feed her and will eat masses up berry’s and melty sticks, getting more adventurous every day 🤞🏼 sort of coincided with her learnjng to crawl!

Yeah Eden looks so offended when anyone puts a spoon near her - she’s more than capable of picking it up and putting it in her mouth but she picks and chooses when she feels like it 😂 These March babies 😅 anyone’s baby feel like high maintenance with their eating, sleeping and neediness? 😂 x

@Cass same ! As soon as my baby sees me, all she sees is boobs! She’s obsessed ! 😂
