Not eating

eleasegala

My Lo is nine months old next week, and she still doesn't like to eat solid foods. She will take an occasional bite. She will pretty much only open her mouth for a bottle. Any advice?

Keep trying! Have you tried offering her finger foods (overcooked carrots, for example)? She might be more interested if she can feed herself, even if that creates a huge mess the first dozen times or so.

Otherwise, just keep offering a wide variety of foods and she will come around eventually.

A few short weeks later, he can't get enough bananas and other fruit, and will allow being fed carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes, yogurt and scrambled eggs. Oh, and he loves the Gerber puffs.

Good luck and keep that camera handy!
