He really only wants finger foods. I try to feed him soft versions of whatever I'm eating. </p> <p>He loves cooked carrots, pasta, green beans, peaches, cooked apples, baked chicken, chicken noodle soup (everything is already mushy and ready for him to eat). I cut up everything into little pieces. He also really loves those little freeze dried yogurt puffs. In the mornings I'll feed him a bit of oatmeal as well. It's messy, but he takes handfuls of it and feeds himself! </p> <p>The purees he WILL eat are the stage 3 Gerber or Earth's Best meals. They have bigger chunks of veggies and pasta, which he likes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-old-lost-interest-in-food#post-1547398 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 21:56:06 +0000 QBbride 1547398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try finger foods.</p> <p>I also wouldn't push solids so it doesn't turn her off completely. She will come around eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-old-lost-interest-in-food#post-1547386 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 21:36:46 +0000 Rockies11 1547386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 months is a pretty typical time for them to stop being really into purees and being more about finger foods! My LO is 9 months and she stopped eating altogether - back to bfing like a newborn! Apparently that's normal too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-old-lost-interest-in-food#post-1547383 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 21:31:12 +0000 katsupgirl 1547383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she teething? Are FF or BF? Applesauce maybe? More finger foods like sliced pears or broccoli and steamed carrots? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-old-lost-interest-in-food#post-1547306 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 19:55:17 +0000 brady80 1547306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 9 month old was a champion eater from day one. She has liked every puree I have made. Last week she started pushing the spoon away after a few bites. She is very interested in feeding herself, so I usually give her some finger food and then a puree. Last night when I fed her she gagged on the puree but then happily ate blueberries. Is she over purees? I feel like it isn't a texture because she happily eats yogurt. I worry that she won't get enough to eat if she feeds herself because half of it ends up on the floor. Any thoughts on food I can try? </p>
