My daughter is ten months old. For four sodding months I've been offering and offering and offering food, and it's been unbearably slow progress. She will play with food, even sometimes taste it, then spit it back out and throw the rest on the floor. She will tolerate one or two spoonfuls, then clamps her mouth shut, wants the spoon, jams the wrong end in her mouth and screams if I try and take it away, move it, or spoon something round it. Lunch today: she licked a piece of tomato, crumbled up some boiled egg slices, sucked a rice cake then spat it out when it went soggy, and refused to let me spoon anything in. This is typical.
I know it happens at their own pace. But she's ten months old. We're still on playing and tastes like a seven months old. I'm losing the will to live here and I don't know what to do.
