We've been BLW since LO was 6 months old and she loves chewing on a wide variety of food. Most of it ends up on her, she kind of chews it up and spits it out. With most fruits, she sucks it dry and spits out the skins. I guess she's getting what she needs and is still nursing but when will she actually start swallowing the food?
I know I shouldn't compare but her friends seem to eat so much more and seem more interested at meal times. LO is a grazer and just seems to still nibble, and continues to nurse quite a bit. Anyone else's LO do this too?
Re: BLW - not eating much at 11 Months?
Some days DD eats a lot, some not so much. I wouldn't worry, since food under one is just for fun :-)
It will probably change when she is getting the majority of her nutrition from actual food and not milk/formula.
My DD does the same thing, she chews things and spits them out, she will occasionally swallow a little, but not very much. I still offer her a lot of purees because I could not get her to even put anything else into her mouth until recently (although we have been trying since 6 months).
My pedi also wasn't very concerned, she said every baby is different and she has seen other babies not even take any solids until 11 months. She said to just keep offering and if we were concerned with her weight gain when we weaned her from formula, we could always supplement with pediasure.
