My just-turned-9mo-son is not really taking to solids at all. He frequently rejects a spoon and is very reluctant to feed himself - most food gets shoved off his tray without going near his mouth. There are some exceptions: he loves dry cracker-type foods like carrot puffs, crackers, baby wafers, biscuits etc.
Can anyone recommend any other dry finger food ideas? I'd like to make some myself so I can manage salt and sat fat levels. Things we've tried that he's not been a fan of are toast, risotto balls, quesadillas. I think maybe he prefers crispier things.
And there's not really anything else we can do to encourage more eating is there? Just keep trying and hope that he eventually discovers his appetite...?! He will accept some puree sometimes and puts lots of toys etc in his mouth so I'm confident this isn't an oral aversion issue.
