I would also say that the gagging and even vomiting is completely normal for blw. They have to learn how to move the food through their mouths. I would start with bigger pieces like full steamed green beans if you want to try again. Something he can hold onto.</p> <p>Around 9 months old my son wanted nothing to do with purees but still did the solids. He just wanted to be more independent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-have-become-a-battle#post-1015653 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 10:46:59 +0000 edelweiss 1015653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would just continue to offer but not worry too much if he doesn't take it, since his nursing is normal. it's hard not to worry though when it's a sudden change! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-have-become-a-battle#post-1015493 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 09:53:46 +0000 Weagle 1015493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like just a phase to me. Some weeks LO can't get enough food, some weeks she lives on sunshine. I wouldn't worry about it, especially since nursing is going well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-have-become-a-battle#post-1015451 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 09:40:50 +0000 regberadaisy 1015451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has definitely gone through phases of refusal. It's usually related to teething or being sick. Just keep offering but don't force it. Hope it passes soon!</p> <p>At this point everything he needs is still through you so no worries. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-have-become-a-battle#post-1015431 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 09:33:43 +0000 coastmama 1015431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 7 months old and has 5 teeth. So we started giving LO purees at 5.5 months. He loved it. By 6 months he was eating purees 3xs a day and had never rejected anything. I honestly started to think that his "full" alarm was broken. He just never turned away. Well, I guess about 2 weeks ago, he started turning away before finishing his food. No biggie. I was relieved that he seemed to be getting full. But this past week he has started completely rejecting the purees. Yesterday, he accepted 1 bite at breakfast, ate about 1/2 of a container for lunch, and finished it at dinner. I started thinking that maybe he just wanted more texture, so a few days ago, I softened some green beans and carrots and chopped them up really fine. He ate some, but not very much. I read a book on BLW so I tried some things suggested there.... egg yolk (hated it) and steamed bell pepper strips (bit into it and almost choked). This morning I tried mashing a banana, he gagged, and then I tried some mashed peach, which was super soft, and he gagged and thew up. Now, he has had a clear runny nose for a few days, but he hasn't been acting any different. It just seems to be teething or allergies.</p> <p>Saying all this, he is still nursing really well.... so I know he's not going to starve. I just don't know what to do. Did anyone else go through this? Any advice or foods I need to try? </p>
