Inconsistent Solid Feeding

Maybe try meal prepping for him. Like fruit or vegetables so it’s easier. Also just have him share his lunch which is easy.
Almost exact same situation here. I tell myself solids mainly just at dinner is ok because the doctor says until 1 year all nutrition needs should still come from breast milk and formula and solids is more “practice” and skill development. But who knows 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
I have the food ready for him to do it and it’s mostly puree but I’ll suggest the feed him what he’s eating. That’s a good idea. Thanks for the assurance that one meal a day is good
Also if he find the puree takes to long maybe think of using a silicone pouch ?
I’ve always been scared of the pouches (idk why lol) but that’s a good idea. I’ll test it out today
You can use a reusable one vs the store bought ones
My 9 month old doesn't eat solids at all
He has his 9months appt in a few weeks! I’m gonna ask for ideas too! Thanks everyone
Our pediatrician said that by 9 months she wants to see our girl eating 3 solid meals
Feeding a baby does take a lot of time. Especially spoon feeding. My baby tends to get fussy and takes a lot of time to eat. If he’s busy and finds solids time consuming, he can do 2 spoons of food and mix it with butter or a healthy fat like olive oil. This way you don’t have to take a long time spoon feeding and the calorie needs are met. Examples: 2 spoons of zucchini purée and olive oil would be around 100 calories at least.
My baby is 8 months almost 9 months. She eats breakfast and dinner.
@Nathalie that’s very interesting and makes sense! Will try that! Thank you
My almost 9 month old eats 3 solid meals a day. Your husband can find 5-10 minutes a day to feed him solids. It can even be a puree!
