Baby off solids when ill

Baby has been ill for a week and all he wants is purée or pouches. Should I worry?

This is totally normal if they’re under the weather. I would keep offering other things alongside the things you know they will have, just for continued exposure but should hopefully improve once they are feeling more themselves x

Thank you ☺️

Yess i find my lo one likes smooth food when hes not well either. I wouldn’t worry personally its just exactly like us when we have a sore throat/not feeling well. We often turn to things like soup or pasta (something easy to eat)

Mine wants these same rather then food should I consider it to illness or something else?

@Anna if they are showing signs of being off in themselves e.g a cough or trouble swallowing i would just put it down to being ill. I do still try my lo on more lumpy/solid foods just so hes just used to being given it still

@Holly okey I never think about it I always try not to give her if she says no and then tried on the next meal and she finish it so quickly so yeah but thank you

@Anna hopefully it helps. I just try to relate it to myself or adults as i find it helps you think more logically about it xx
