DD (7 months) is quite difficult to feed. SHe's been on solids for 7 weeks now, but will only eat fruit and baby rice. I have tried mixing things together, eg butternut squash with mashed banana, apple with carrot... but the minute she detects any non-fruit element, she just starts gagging and spitting it all out. it's even worse if I try to get any protein into her. I have mixed poached pureed white fish with fruit puree at a ration of 1part fish to 10 parts fruit, and she STILL wouldn't have it.
DS went through this too, but at least with him I could get more or less anything in his mouth as long as it was coated with mashed bananam and he would eat it. DD just pulls these horrible faces and spits it all out, writhes around, and cries.
She will ONLY eat apple, pear, banana, and any of these three mixed with paoched pureed dried fruit (for variety!). She only has 20oz milk per day, split between one morning feed, one bedtime, and one small mid-afternoon bottle, and her solids are always offered at least 2 hours after a milk feed, so I'm confident it's not the milk affecting her appetite. Also, she is genuinely hungry for the solids as she wolfs down whatever she can if it's fruit - she just starts crying if it's anything other than fruit.
I am worried that this limited diet is denying her essential proteins, amino acids, etc that she needs for brain/body growth. Anyone else have a baby like this?
