She started out quite good at six months taking puree on a spoon as long as she helped but within weeks she started clamping her mouth shut. So we started giving her finger food - often what were having. She would bite a little off but mainly just play with it.
Over the last three months there has been little progress. Her finger skills have improved a lot but the food mainly gets spat out and very little gets eaten. It is mainly smeared around as a new abstract art form. She has recently learned to shake her head as well as clamp her mouth if I try and offer any food at all.
We have tried all kinds of foods and always sit with her eating together. Even at times eating with out hands or out of the same bowl as her. But nothing has helped.
She never took to a bottle and is exclusively breast feed. She is following her weight curve well so the health visitor says there is no issue. The problem is my wife returns to work in the New Year and I am not sure how our daughter will deal with her food source disappearing!
