baby not enjoying food
Hey ladies. Baby is 7 months now. I offer her food once everyday and sometimes when eating dinner. I also end up missing some days as its been overwhelming. So just continue EBF.
Anyway. Most times i offer her anything (BLW or mashed) she doesnt really take it to her mouth and want to even try it. I try sometimes to get her to lick a little but dont want to force her at all. She just plays with it in her hands and then thats it.
Sometimes doesnt even try. She takes all tous to her mouth lol and everything else. Except food.
Im trying to take it easy but not sure if she will be extra fussy with food if i dont do more. Been offering food for the last 2 weeks i’d say.

What about somethings like hummus ?? Have you tried that ?? More wet food like yogurt ??? Just trying to think for you.
Yes - tried wetter foods too but same thing. Shes fascinated with touching the texture and it becomes VERY messy. But rarely take to her mouth.
@Sharon Means a lot honestly. It’s way more overwhelming than i thought.

It sounds like you’re doing amazing mama! My baby is 6.5 months old and barely eats but enjoys handling food. For me the most important thing right now is to establish a joyful environment around food. He is EBF and has his nutrition needs met through that. I’m sure at some point he will need more to sustain his high energy levels and will start to consume more food. I tell myself that all I can do is consistently offer him a variety of food and model happy eating for him and trust that he will soon follow.
