So I've read here and other places that, "food before one is just for fun". How true is that? My 8.5 month old DS has no interest in solids. We've been trying since 6 months (irregularly, I admit) with pureed/mashed up fruits and veggies and he just grimaces and looks like he's being tortured. I'm concerned that he isn't eating solids yet. He only started sitting up this week, and I've read that sitting up is important for eating solids, so I'm hoping that has played a factor. Has anyone else experienced a late solids eater?
