They also do this after shots for a couple days. That said, my littles are super distracted eaters for the last few weeks (especially Finn) and aren't eating anything well, so I may or may not be the one to consult on normal eating habits of 6-month olds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-6mo-olds-do-this#post-1061257 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 07:48:16 +0000 mrs.cookie 1061257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P has done this for a few days after each vaccination and when she's sick as well. I tried to remind myself "food before one is just for fun" ... My son didn't eat any solids at all really til 11 months. He just wasn't that into it! Try not to worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-6mo-olds-do-this#post-1061242 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 07:39:04 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1061242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: I still think it's pretty normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-6mo-olds-do-this#post-1061236 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 07:35:25 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1061236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: thanks :) I keep telling myself not to worry, but you know how it is. </p> <p>@coastmama: I'll just wait him out then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-6mo-olds-do-this#post-1060883 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 21:54:57 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1060883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C does this when sick. Maybe Isaiah is getting a little cold or post-shots illness that is slashing his appetite. Hang in. When he is hungry again, you'll know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-6mo-olds-do-this#post-1060877 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 21:53:08 +0000 coastmama 1060877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO goes through spurts where he doesn't really eat his purees. At first it worried me, but I guess I've gotten used to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-6mo-olds-do-this#post-1060832 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 21:27:17 +0000 autumnlove 1060832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started at 6 months by my LO wasn't interested in regular solid meals until 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-6mo-olds-do-this#post-1060827 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 21:23:06 +0000 turkeylurkey 1060827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Give it some time. My niece went on a milk strike for a couple weeks. They peditrician said give her time. She came around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-6mo-olds-do-this#post-1060587 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 18:40:40 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1060587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: he had been eating solids like a champ though for the past three weeks. Not being interested is new. Just wait it out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-6mo-olds-do-this#post-1060117 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 12:26:29 +0000 dojo 1060117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is 6 months and I've been noticing that he hasn't been nursing as long lately (he is still finishing his bottles at daycare though). I thought maybe it was a teething thing but who knows. We only just started offering solids recently and he isn't really all that into them. Some days he will only eat a spoonful or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-6mo-olds-do-this#post-1060062 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 11:40:04 +0000 junebugmama 1060062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My guy didn't really eat solids until 10months. I wouldn't worry. Solids really aren't necessary for a year. Who knows what's going on, just let him lead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-6mo-olds-do-this#post-1059917 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 09:39:52 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1059917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: my first LO refused solids almost completely until a year. I think when kids get sick or get uncomfortable, they tend to revert to their previous diet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-6mo-olds-do-this#post-1059723 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 06:54:49 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1059723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo has refused solid (purees) for two days straight. He had his shots Thursday and a fever Friday. The fever has been gone since Saturday am. At first I thought that's why he wasn't eating, but now I don't know. He is also drinking less from his bottles. About 1-2oz less each.</p> <p>I keep checking for teeth, but I'm not seeing or feeling anything.</p> <p>Anyone else experience something like this? What do you think is going on? </p>
