Baby not wanting food
Show your support
My baby only seems to like porridge at the moment. It’s so frustrating I feel like he just doesn’t like it. I’m going to start BLW soon I think see if that changes anything
Food before 1 is just for fun! Let him have the spoon and play with food - it's a great sensory experience for them even if they eat nothing or very little. Once he grows in confidence he will start tasting more and bringing them to his mouth himself.. there is quite a lot of obsession on these babies eating but they are only tiny still! This age is all about them growing confidence and gaining new skills to learn how to eat and chew! Yes iron stores start depleting at 6 month etc etc but your milk is still their best nutrition! If you are worried about vitamins and nutrients make sure you give him his vitamin supplement every day :) I promise he will get there, just let him have fun and do it in his own time x
Have a look at the bibadoo dippy feeder things and just let him explore and have fun. It will be messy just to warn you but try not to get worked up x
Similar story...baby just turned 7 months and is the same size as yours. Wasn't interested until very recently. Most food thrown on the floor or spoon fed just sort out then mouth clamped shut. I decided just to give him something to play with every time I ate and really take the pressure off x
