Babies: 6 - 9 Months

7 Month Old Still Won't Eat Solids?

Hello all! First post here =]

I have a very healthy, happy, thriving 7 month old daughter. She is in the 50th percentile for height and weight, so I feel like she?s growing properly. She?s as happy as can be! But for the LIFE of me? I can?t get her to eat!

She had her first bowl of rice cereal at 5.5 months old and gobbled it up. She loved it. She did, however, get very constipated, so I decided to take a break from it and try again in a couple of weeks. When I tried at 6 months old, she wouldn?t have it. I?ve been trying for more than a month to get her to eat again, and she is just not interested at ALL. I can?t get her to eat a single spoonful. She just grabs the spoon and wants to play with it. Then we both get frustrated and give up.

Should I be worried? Should I give it a break and try again in a few weeks?

What are some foods that I should try? I?ve tried rice cereal, sweet potatoes, and corn.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  • How thick are you mixing it? Also when are you feeding it to her? After a bottle, before a bottle?? How are you doing it.

    I dont let lo play with the spoon. But he's too interested in the food part.
