Try not to worry. All kids lean at a different age. Do you eat with her or does she eat while you watch her? Reasons including: teething discomfort, underdeveloped oral motor skills, fear of new textures, food preferences, a recent illness causing a sore throat, not being ready for more complex textures, or simply needing more practice with different foods; if you are concerned about your child's feeding habits, consult with their pediatrician.

In the same boat. My kid is 14 months mostly eats yogurt mashed potato’s baby cereal and purees. He’s trying some table food but gags and chokes or vomits a lots looking into speech and feeding therapy. Would see if there’s a possibility tongue tie that’s making swallowing more difficult

Just keep offering and she’ll eat when she’s ready! My 17m old just started really eating small meals (still breastfed) and she really didn’t want to chew until her molars came in last month. She still doesn’t eat a “proper big meal” as some other kids do but I think every child is different and some just don’t eat as much solids right away as others. You’re doing great!

Do you feed her or do you do BLW? Does she have teeth?
My baby wasn’t super interested in eating and chewing until around 9mo, but she really started relying on more actual meals after a year, because her first molar popped out.
Also, I feed her either directly from my plate (which she prefers) or I feed her with a fork (her preference) from her bowl.
She is still breastfed quite frequently, too.

My eldest was amazing at BLW and ate anything and everything infront of him. My youngest however I have found tricky to wean. He is really struggling with every single tooth, and when he's teething he totally goes off food and goes straight back to pouches. Each month he eats a little more but he is still quite fussy. Not sure if because he had a tongue tie when he was born that he finds it harder but it doesn't seem to affect anything else in his life 🤷🏼‍♀️ who know, time will tell!

As mentioned above, just keep offering, keep demonstrating, keep trying new things (and apparently they need to have it atleast 11 times to tell if they like it or not)

Mine is 9 months started solids well. Got poorly since don't wanna eat. So I am struggling as I need to be back at work in March. We just have to keep trying. Offer what she likes then some solid food for play time.fet her to smash, throw, get her used to exploring the food again until she decides to put on her mouth. Also eat in front of her what u want her to eat. And then let her play. She will connect the dots and see that the food is also for eating. Good luck

Try making your own purees so you can control the consistency. If you haven't been doing your own already, thawed peas with a splash of milk/formula/water (to mix) is an easy place to start. I have gotten plenty of use out of my baby food maker, a combo processor & steamer. I used the processor early on, and now just use the steamer.

Playing with food is also great. Make sensory bins with cut-up bread pieces or a can of two of black beans, peaches or pears. Let her smash cheerios with a hammer or show her how to string them as a necklace or bracelet and let her wear them around. Let her "paint" with raspberries. Give her heavy paper and a paint brush but really just let her squish and finger paint. Have her cook with you and let her taste things and lick the spoon after. Even if she spits things out, it's fine. It's all good learning for her.

we eat with her she takes interest buy chews and throws it out. Shes doesnt had no illness

she eats mashed things

i let her eat from my plate as well and but she plays with it and dont really eat and after that i give her her meal

Maybe she’s just not ready yet 🧐
