I've posted before about my (now) 9 month old who absolutely will NOT eat and never has. He puts up a tremendous fight when approached by a spoon (arms flailing, head whipping from side to side, wriggling to get out of his seat etc) no matter what is on it. He has no great interest in holding a spoon himself or in BLW (with the one exception of toast, which he chews but never swallows)! He finds fruit too slippery to hold and cannot manipulate chunks of veg. HV has been menacing before but at recent check has warned this has got to stop. She says he is not getting sufficient iron and vitamins (he is formula fed) and he drinks far too much milk (she's right on this one). He still wakes twice a night for milk and guzzles during the day. I have tried EVERYTHING to tempt him to eat. Is HV right about this?
