Almost 10 month old won't eat a thing

[Iccre]

Breastfeeding, and basically i try to feed my baby BLW, he only eats toast. the rest that i offer always goes to the floor. it makes me feel so guilty thinking he doesn't eat enough food. when i try to feed him myself with a spoon or my hands he just refuses it, closes his mouth and turns his head until i stop. so im in the middle of a dilema. i don't know what to do. i can't force him, but seeing that he is only interested in the breast confuses me. i've tried different colour food, shapes, everything he just doesn't want. even tried to make him a veggie soup he just spits it all out and cries :(. anyone been through the same? when will this get better? i'm crying right now typing, it's how much guilt i feel thinking it's my fault, as many people told this is not normal and i might be doing something wrong. but im really trying, since he is 6 months old. the only thing he opens his mouth his to pots of fruit, and even that i basically need to put a bit on his lips so he can lick it first, and then he opens his mouth for more

Food is for fun, until you are one...

Honestly try not to worry, keep offering different stuff but don't make a big deal out of it, he'll get there when he's ready.

My youngest is 9 now and I used to stress and overthink so much stuff which when I look back, seems bonkers. So please try not to get upset. It feels big when you're in the midst of it but with hindsight, it's not.

You could have a chat to your health visitor maybe and hopefully they can reassure you.

My baby was just like this. He’s a strapping adult now! I know how worried you are, I worried so much. Here’s the thing though, my son gradually started to eat when he was about one. After that there was no stopping him. For now, keep food fun. Let him join in your mealtimes, so he can see you eating. Keep offering him appropriate finger foods and let him explore them. Don’t make a fuss when he throws food on the floor, they all do that. He will start eating soon, they all do.

Oh dd1 was like this, didn't eat anything consistently until over 1

My first was like this. Bf until 3. From about 1 started showing an interest in food and by 16 months was a good little eater and enjoys a variety now. I wouldn't do anything different to be honest and bubs literally didn't put a single thing in his mouth until over 9 months!
