I've tried BLW but only takes a bite or two and then rather plays with the food</p> <p>@MRSBELLS LO loves to eat off our plates. I've been making a lot of soups for that reason ;) But I'm always afraid, LO isn't eating enough!</p> <p>@CHOPSUEY119 Yes to Yogurt! Mouth shut -- hates the spoon. My LO is high-maintanence! </p> <p>@ANEWME Totally baby envy when I see their LO is a good eater. Hubs and I are amazed when we witness that!</p> <p>@MOMMACOMMAPHD Noted on the feeder bags and had introduced to LO in the beginning. LO would rather wear it on LO's head than eat it -- loves to play! I'm going to try again this week! Thx for reminding me. Interested on the anisette toast -- will try that too!</p> <p>Thanks for everyone tips/ suggestions. I've just need to relax and let LO eat at their pace. </p> <p>Today, I hand-fed egg yolk with some super soft steamed zucchini and ate the whole thing -- it was long, as I was feeding while LO was watching fav. show. I'll just keep on trying!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hates-solids#post-55995 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:03:52 +0000 mommacommaphd 55995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sort of did a baby led weaning thing- and just gave her pieces of whatever we were eating for her gnaw on.</p> <p>Other things she enjoyed- any kind of fruit in a feeder bag (like this- (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Pack-Fresh-Feeder-Colors/dp/B000GK5XY2)-" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Pack-Fresh-Feeder-Colors/dp/B000GK5XY2)-</a> particularly cantaloupe.</p> <p>Also, anisette toast- it's meant for dipping in tea or coffee, so it was hard as a rock and she could suck on it and teeth on it for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hates-solids#post-55703 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:43:37 +0000 chopsuey 55703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anewme: I give her Yobaby peach and Yobaby 3 in 1 meals (peach+butternut squash) usually she only takes 5-10 bites of it. So I eat the rest :D haha.</p> <p>oh. LO eats SO WELL when she's really hungry (I haven't given her milk). If your LO doesn't wanna eat it's because she's not hungry most likely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hates-solids#post-55698 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:36:30 +0000 anewme 55698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: what baby yogurt do you give your LO? Is it the Yo kind? I haven't tried that yet, I tried giving her the stonyfield's plain kind and tried mixing it with fruit and i think she just hates the sourness. </p> <p>@EmmeBaby: i haven't had total success with feeding LO either. She has days when she eats everything we put in her mouth and days when she eats 3 bites at every meal and spits out the rest even if they are known foods that she normally loves. It's so frustrating because my sister's baby is such a GOOD eater! It's so fun feeding him because he just opens his mouth wide for you and cant' wait for the next bite. </p> <p>Someone also told me to try to feed her before you give her a bottle because that might be filling her up and that's why she's not eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hates-solids#post-55689 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:01:31 +0000 chopsuey 55689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO only eats abour 2-3 ounces MAX too. She'll be 10 months old on the 27th.<br /> Babies get the nutrients they need from breastmilk/formula.. so I wouldn't stress too much about it. You don't wanna force feed your baby..<br /> I would steam some sweet potato, butternut squash, other soft food and let her feed herself. See how she does.<br /> Have you tried baby yogurt? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hates-solids#post-55688 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:56:16 +0000 Mrsbells 55688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know people mix in breastmilk with whatever solid so the taste and smell is somewhat familiar.<br /> I know some babies like eating off their parents plates, I dont know if you have tried that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hates-solids#post-55672 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:41:31 +0000 looch 55672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd try sweet potato or butternut squash, those are flavors babies love and I've had a lot of success with those. My standard dinner for DS when I don't know what to give him is sweet potato or butternut squash with spinach, a protein and pastina. I've luckily got a fantastic eater.</p> <p>What about some cheese, like a spread on some easy to chew bread? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hates-solids#post-55645 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:05:13 +0000 cyneswith 55645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she show interest in grown-up food? It may be worth it to look into the child-led weaning process, at least for ideas. Many kids just aren't interested in the purees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hates-solids#post-55636 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 23:26:04 +0000 venice4504 55636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has she already been BF'd? Maybe she's too full when you offer the food? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hates-solids#post-55633 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 22:44:10 +0000 EmmeBaby 55633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is turning 9 months next week. We intro rice cereal at 4m's, beginners vegs at 6m. For the last 3 months it's been torture &amp; very stressful feeding LO. </p> <p>Lo doesn't open her mouth and refuses to eat. LO is eBF (5/6x), my skinny mini and very petite. </p> <p>Morning: 0.5 to 1oz of fruits, mixed with yogurt and force-fed<br /> Lunch: 1oz steam veggies, cut up and hand-fed<br /> Dinner: 1oz Avocado and Tofu, cut up and hand fed</p> <p>I've tried everything. Jarred, home-made, congee, bland, full flavour. LO is just not interested. We eat the above everyday, just because I've had some success. LO will also have a bite here and there of rice puff or cracker.</p> <p>Tips, suggestions? </p>
