No solids 12 months old

How did this end @Lottie81 did she eventually eat looking fir hope here

Lottie, I haven't read the full thread, and I'm sure people are giving you good advice, but, purely anecdotally, my younger daughter was the same - EBF until she was 14 months, totally uninterested in food, no obvious developmental delays except that. She's in her mid thirties now and a completely normal functioning human being who eats just like everyone else. The only thing that was ever 'wrong' apart from not eating was that she wet the bed until she was 11, which was tricky but not the end of the world. She's been to university and she's a qualified occupational therapist and she is in very good health. It's so easy to worry when they're little. The worst thing about her only wanting breast milk for such a long time was my levels of exhaustion!
I'm all right now, too!

I'm not saying don't investigate or get further advice, but I am saying that it's quite possible that there's nothing wrong with her, she just likes things the way they are!

Chocolate. That was in response to the poster who said that the not crawling at 12 months would worry them alone. Along with other posters, it was example that not all children crawl at that age.

What will u do when u go back to work? (Presuming that u are coming to end of maty leave) id defo have a chat with GP

Does your HV think her speech development is fine or her development as a whole (including lack of solids etc) is fine?

My ds2 who was prem didn't have solids until he was about 8 months and I had no end of grief from my HV. Really stressed me out (unnecessarily as it turned out).

I wouldn’t worry too much

my eldest didn’t eat solids until about 14months, I remember the panic of the “food is fun until one” mantra and realising it was no longer fun and she needed to eat. She is now at school and eats just fine. There may be other stuff that cause of concern but on its own

This might sound nuts but have you thought about putting some puree on your boobs? Start with a little bit of banana or sweet potato. If they like it, then the 2nd time actually let her see you put that food on your nipple so she associates that previous yummy taste to that food visually.

My 11 month DS old doesn't crawl, but he walks.

how does that help the OP? obviously, her DD neither walks nor crawls.

When did you first try and introduce solids?

agree on paed referral. Mine refused food until 11/12 months and was EBF, late in crawling at that age. She does have SN.

Not saying this is the case with your DD but obviously, your gut instinct tells you that something is not quite right. I would follow this up.

At 12 months, the range of normal development us pretty wide and I found the HV completely useless (only advice I got was that every baby is different and to give it more time). I'd sideline the hV and push for referral via GP.

How come you saw a SALT? Unusual at such a young age but I guess that was for feeding issues and not the wider communication?

You need a paediatric referral and developmental assessment. Speak to your GP.

If she's drinking lots and lots of breast milk all day she likely won't want food. Same as if she was drinking lots of formula. I'd just try to reduce the amount of feeds and regularly offer different foods either fed to her by you or food she can eat herself

Will she try yogurt?

Will she eat junk food? I ask because my son is still breastfed at 15 months and has only just (like in the last week) started to really consider food. But he will literally wrestle chocolate from my hands if I'm eating it and has done so for the last 5 months. He will happily eat any 'junk' he's offered - I presume because my breast milk is very very sweet (yes I tasted it )

I'd ask for a referral too tbh. Is she having a supplement? She may end up anaemic.

OP is there someone you trust (her dad, your mum) that you could leave her for for half a day/the day? Ds1 was never interested in solids if breastmilk was a possibility. Consequently he wouldn't accept food from me. When dh had him for the day he did eat reasonably well (then topped up w a big feed from me in the evening).
Ds2 was one of those babies that lunged at food at 6 months.

My daughter was like this. She just wasn't interested in food. She didn't seem to know what it was for, or why you might eat it - she lacked that instinct that have other babies crawling across tables to get their hands on food. I did stop BF when she was 13 months, and that did help, but she still wasn't a big eater. She was also not crawling, and missed many of her other milestones (she did not walk until she was 2.5). Last summer she was diagnosed with autism (she had just turned 3). Interestingly, now she is a big eater and will try almost anything.

I'd definitely mention it to your GP; it could be a sensory thing, or stubbornness, or being a picky eater, or something else that might require further investigation.

My 11 month old dd eats minimal solids. She has ready brek in the morning and fruit and vegetables puree in small amounts in afternoon.

Have you tried her with baby rice and breast milk?

I wouldn't worry as long as she's gaining weight and sleeping enough. People worry too much.

My 11 month DS old doesn't crawl, but he walks. I'm not worrying about the fact he doesn't crawl at all. Some babies don't.

I started BLW at six months. Before then, DS was 100% BF. He didn't have any interest in solids at all at that age. We did introduce some careful spoonfeeding around 8 month, which helped him to get a taste of foods and which probably contributed to his interest at 9 months. He's eating solids, but not a huge amount. Again, I'm not overly worrying about this as he seems to be picking up steam each day.

I agree with asking for a paeds referral.
In the meantime, does she drink water from a cup or spoon? To get this to happen would be a good start

I know when I started to wean, DD wasn't keen at all if it was me offering her milk in a beaker, I suppose because she could smell my milk and associated me with the breast. How feasible would it be for you to spend the day away from home and leave your DD with Dad and another? That way you're not around to be a distraction.

I have to say at some point there may have to be tears - her's and your's .

Does she see you eat? ‘Eat’ alongside you?

Is she mobile in other ways? Bum shuffle?
Can you get a vitamin drop in her? I think after 6 months the amount of iron in breast milk is not sufficient, so if not having vitamins I would ask gp.

hmmm.. the not trying any solids would concern me. The not crawling wouldnt be so much of an issue, my last ds never crawled at all, then at 14 months he stood up and walked.
Try and get a referral about the food issue though, or maybe pay to see a private dietitian that specialises in kids?

My ndn didn't crawl till 20 months and he's just had an offer from Cambridge.
I think your girl is fine. It sounds like you are doing exactly the right things around food, and I'd be REALLY surprised if she doesn't get round to it in her own sweet time.
