We are following the principles of BLW and believe foods before one is just for fun. We just keep offering and keep it stress free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solid-foods-with-an-ebf-baby#post-1868757 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:18:02 +0000 mdf106 1868757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My EBF LO had little interest in food when I started. I kept offering, and I increased the number of times I offered. At 5.5 months once a day, at 7 months twice a day, at 8.5 months 3 times a day. LO did not really consume a significant amount of solids until 9 months, when I offered table food. He ramped up quickly, and by 10 months was a good eater. He started liking purees then too, so I think it was just a coincidence, and he was just ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solid-foods-with-an-ebf-baby#post-1868688 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 15:31:55 +0000 autumnlove 1868688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started solids with both LOs at 6 months but they didn't show much interest until 9.5-10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solid-foods-with-an-ebf-baby#post-1868684 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 15:28:42 +0000 lamariniere 1868684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started my DD around 6 months. She really wasn't interested and would eat maybe one or two tiny spoonfuls before being done. That lasted almost 2 months and now she's eating maybe 2 small solid meals per day at 9 months. But it's noticeably less than my older LO who started solids around 4.5 months and was much more enthusiastic. For now, I would just chalk it up to different babies being at their own pace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solid-foods-with-an-ebf-baby#post-1868587 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 14:39:47 +0000 HTownMom 1868587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO 13 months is still BF and has always been slow with solids. We just keep trying an offering her different food with different textures. She is getting better at swallowing more food. She still spits out quite a bit, but again it's a slow process.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solid-foods-with-an-ebf-baby#post-1868582 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 14:36:24 +0000 Tanjowen 1868582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried solids at 6 months and he spat everything out and acted like we were trying to kill him with the spoon. We backed off and reintroduced at 7 months and skipped the spoon and offered soft foods. It wasn't until 8 months that he really got into eating...I had to take deep breaths each meal and remind myself it didn't matter that he was just throwing food on the floor :)</p> <p>Now at 9 months, he eats like a pro. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solid-foods-with-an-ebf-baby#post-1868578 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 14:32:30 +0000 MrsKoala 1868578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are there right now with our 7.5 month old. He will not do solids at all. He hates solids and actively spits everything out. I have a speech language pathologist friend who said this is common in reflux babies and gave some tips. She said that he's not developmentally behind unless he's still doing this at 9 months. Have you tried giving solids twice a day? My friend said the more that you do it, the more progress they make. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/starting-solid-foods-with-an-ebf-baby#post-1868483 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:48:45 +0000 MrsRcCar 1868483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is 7 months old (6 months old adjusted), we have started solids. He isn't great at solids. It seems like more is coming back out then staying in.<br /> When we started N on solids he took to it so quickly. E on the other hand is not at all interested in solids. The faces he makes are funny but you can just tell he doesn't like it. </p> <p>My mom insists to me that he just needs more practice but I am concerned that perhaps he is behind developmentally. </p> <p>Anyone else been through this? </p>
