My baby hates food

My 8 month old boy still hasn’t taken to food. All I see online is how peoples babies are having 2-3 meals a day, all whilst mine isn’t even eating 1. I have tried EVERYTHING to get him to try the food but he has no interest. Please can someone advise me on what to do?

I don’t know what’s next but I’d love to know as we are in the same position

Oh really Rebecca - what have you tried to do?

Im the same I offer food 3x a day. I have tried purees, mash and finger foods. Some days are better than others. He is much better at accepting food from my husband or my mum. He screams sometimes when it's me offering food 😭

I’d try contact health visitor for some guidance x

Already have - they just say food before 1 is for fun and he’ll take to it in his own time

To be honest, they’ve never been much help when it comes to advice

I’m just continuing to offer. She likes toast, crumpets, some wafers and melty sticks, omelettes but I don’t think she swallows much. I can’t even get near her with a spoon so puree isn’t an option unless she’s stripped down 😂 I’m going to her her weighed on Friday so I’ll talk to them then but I’m guessing they’ll say no pressure before 1. There’s not much we can do tbh, we cant force feed them and she’s very happy on milk

My health visitor was the same saying food is for fun before 1

My baby doesn’t like anything but porridge with a fruit pouch in she’ll just cry if she has anything else

My daughter is 8 months and hasn’t eaten a thing she’s not interested at all I try 3x a day 🤦‍♂️
