I'll try some other finger foods with him. Though every time I've tried anything before, he's wanted nothing to do with it! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321629 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 23:53:21 +0000 wheres_c 1321629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO wanted nothing to do with being strapped in or purées at that age. He wanted to feed himself </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321534 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:20:55 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1321534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no advice, but poor xander! just imagining him crying while eating makes me so sad. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321466 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:33:17 +0000 winniebee 1321466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: it was around this age when T wanted nothing to do with purées. You could try avacados or other soft stuff. Another big hit in the early days of table food was elbow macaroni and the contents of soup (soft carrots, celery, potato, noodles). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321441 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:24:53 +0000 Smurfette 1321441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Try bananas. R will not eat purées or other food some days but she always will eat her banana. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321437 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:21:16 +0000 travelgirl1 1321437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Maybe try something else like steamed veggies or something with lots of colour in it? I know with A, she wouldn't entertain purees at all but once she got control and was able to pick what to put in her mouth and do it herself there was no stopping her. Still a lot of chucking it on the floor though, lol, sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321435 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:19:44 +0000 Adira 1321435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: @travelgirl1: I offer him puffs before I give him purees, but he usually just throws them on the floor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321422 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:13:12 +0000 travelgirl1 1321422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I was going to say the same thing! @Adira: Maybe he would do better with some finger foods? Something soft, that you feel comfortable with... maybe he wants some control in how he's eating? Hope it gets easier for you soon, it must be stressful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321419 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:09:18 +0000 winniebee 1321419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: maybe he wants finger foods not purées? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321394 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:54:42 +0000 Adira 1321394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I don't blame you! Xander isn't eating any finger foods yet, so I haven't worried about choking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321386 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:52:37 +0000 Smurfette 1321386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: We are bad, we never strap R in. I worry about her choking and then can't get her out fast enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321382 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:51:09 +0000 Adira 1321382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try not strapping him in and if that doesn't work, I'll try with him on my lap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321338 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:31:44 +0000 Smurfette 1321338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: R will cry when teething and if the spoon hits her bottom gums. Try tomorrow, him sitting in your lap and see if that helps. Could you try not strapping him in as well? Maybe something feels tight or is pinching him? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1321312 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 20:24:04 +0000 Adira 1321312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Well... I don't have anything else to feed him in at home, so I'm not sure. He doesn't cry when I feed him when we're out at a restaurant, but that could be because it's a different setting...</p> <p>@Dandelion: Hmmm... I don't know. I feel like I've gotten to him at many different times - sometimes he's being fussy because I think he's hungry, sometimes he's playing, sometimes he's just taking a break and having some water... I don't get it!</p> <p>@pinkcupcake: That's kind of what I'm thinking! But should I just continue feeding him like that? I want him to know that we eat at the table and in his chair... I shouldn't just give in to his crying if that's really the problem, right??</p> <p>@knittylady: Oh, hmm... maybe it is teething?? I did notice the other day that if I was shoveling the food in fast enough, he didn't seem to be crying as much! But other times, he's crying so hard, he's refusing to eat!</p> <p>@cmomma17: Yes, pretty much! Although it's not always immediately... sometimes I'll give him puffs and he plays with them for a bit, and then when I start to feed him, he'll start crying, even though he eats everything I give him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1320952 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 17:16:29 +0000 cmomma17 1320952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does he always cry when you put him in the high chair? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1320945 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 17:11:20 +0000 littlepenguin 1320945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like he doesn't like the high chair. Try a booster seat or stroller or somewhere else and see if that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1320925 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 16:58:31 +0000 knittylady 1320925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine cries when he has teeth coming in, even purees. I think maybe it's actually soothing, so the second the food is swallowed he wants more so immediately that he cries Either that or theres a toy he sees from a distance that he wants lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1320910 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 16:49:07 +0000 pinkcupcake 1320910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe he doesn't want to sit in the seat? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1320876 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 16:21:30 +0000 Dandelion 1320876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe he was busy doing something when you strapped him in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1320861 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 16:14:01 +0000 winniebee 1320861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does he cry if you feed him somewhere else like a booster or regular chair? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1320851 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 16:09:18 +0000 Adira 1320851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lepamplemousse: Would teething cause this response? Especially because he's just eating purees and doesn't actually have to chew anything?? But he has been extra fussy lately in general, so maybe that's what it is... I don't know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1320843 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 16:01:17 +0000 lepamplemousse 1320843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe he's teething? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10mo-cries-while-eating-solids#post-1320812 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 15:48:47 +0000 Adira 1320812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately, every time we put Xander (10 months) into his high chair to eat, he just starts crying uncontrollably! He'll usually still eat - he just sobs the entire time! Big fat tears rolling down his face, but he still opens his mouth and eats food (purees only). WTF is going on??? </p>
