Hate meal times now

Stacyc625

Seriously i really do. She used to eat GREAT- but now every time i put the spoon near her she smacks me, pushes it out of the way and if i DO get a spoonful of purees in her mouth she won't swallow. she just leaves it in her cheeks and then spits it out.

i wouldn't be so worried but she isn't great with table food besides cheerios. every meal i put a couple of things on her tray and she will just smush it all around. She isn't upping her BM intake that i offer to make up from the lack of solids-

this just all happened last week. i hate even putting her in the highchair because it is such an ordeal.

i don't know if its teething or what- she still hasn't broke any teeth.

any suggestions?

maybe try to spoon feed her some regular foods, as opposed to purees?  like my DD loves to eat pasta off my spoon/fork, etc.  sometimes she grabs for the utensil, but will usually let me just feed her without any problems.

I just use my fingers for table food. DD won't feed herself anything but Mum Mums, so for chunky items, I feed them to her using my fingers. Maybe try that!
