Baby food problem

My baby’s appetite has suddenly dropped. He doesn’t want to have his crackers or his food. He’d take in a few spoons and leave the rest. How long should I be trying to give him food per session? Is it recommended to show him toys while feeding so that he eats? Thank you.

Mine does the same but noooo you not supposed to introduce toys but you have to sit him at his highchair and offer food again and again..

@Noelle that’s what I do. But my MIL forces me to show him toys and let him play so that he is distracted and eats. Even if it takes more than an hour

How old is baby? I would not bring toys to the table. I would also highly recommend letting baby self feed. He might much prefer that! It also decreases the risk of choking and advances their eating skills. Teething or illness can definitely impact babies wanting solids. You can also maximize your schedule so that baby is hungry but not too hungry at meal times. So you’d want to offer a milk feed around 45 minutes prior to offering solids.

He’s one year old
