DD had silent reflux so we weaned her at 16 weeks. LOVED all food, purees you name it. Then she started refusing bottles so we stepped back from solids in case she had allergies.
Meds now have reflux under control but she just won't eat solids! It's been three months since she took anything with a spoon. She will chew on the odd carrot stick and perhaps accept a tiny bit from a pouch but that's it.
Otherwise she gags, splutters, cries, screams, kicks when confronted with food.
Pediatrician says to drop a milk feed and she will eventually eat as so hungry. Feeding specialist says start with ice cream on our fingers. Well that didn't work. So now what?
Am confused, disheartened and anxious.
What to offer her? When? How do I mask my own anxiety about her not taking solids?
She will take medicine from a syringe just fine and bottle feeds are now great. I just want to help her to eat!
