Baby Food Question

in February 2011 Moms

LO was eating 3 meals a day and then suddenly started refusing baby food.  We are on week 5 of absolutely no baby food or cereal.  She is off the charts for weight gain so we started solids at 4 months and that helped to slow her weight gain and seemed to satisfy her more than formula.  Our pedi believes that she should be eating solids now and filling in the spaces with formula.  Which is exactly what she did in the beginning.  The pedi is now saying that if she doesn't resume eating the baby food we will have to with hold the bottle for one feeding and only offer solids. 

I am not really a fan of the plan the pedi has. 

Several people are telling us she may not be ready, but I just don't see how it was going well and she has completely regressed to absolutely hating them from loving them. 

So, do any of you have any advice or suggestions?

    How old is your LO now? I know 6-7 months not being into food much is not too bad but I think by 8 months they should be eating solids 3 times a day, and cutting back on formula so maybe thats why the pedi suggested that. Are you offering solids in between normal bottle feed times and not back to back?

    LO will 8months on the 18th.  She is offered solids about 2 hours after a bottle and she was eating 3 solid meals a day from 4.5 months until about 6 months and then just all of the sudden nothing.

    Have you tried finger foods? Maybe she wants to feed herself?

    This. c is pretty much over purees. She will eat applesauce and yogurt, but that's about it off the spoon. She wants to do it herself.

    Same here on the finger foods only. It started a few weeks ago and now he only eats things we put on the tray and anything offered on a spoon gets grabbed by his hand and smashed everywhere. Everything I make gets formed into little balls now. It's kind of funny, I feel like I'm feeding a duck or something when we eat dinner because every few seconds we just toss a piece of bread or cheese or whatnot over at his tray while we eat. I also think he is developing taste preferences now whereas it used to be he'd anything so he'll ignore anything else if there is banana around and stuff like that.
