My 7 month old little girl started on food at 6 months, she was and still is breastfed on demand. I feed her a breakfast, a dinner and snack later on. She demolish the puffers I give her but with food she has a tiny bit and then clamps her mouth shut, then starts blowing raspberries to spit it out. I feel like she ate more food at 6 months old? I buy her baby porridge and shes had every flavour going, for dinner it's a homemade meal like today she had stew (no salt) with lots of lentils and sweet potato to add sweetness, at night she has a baby fruit puree. All of it's just going in the bin and being wasted. I dont want to force her to eat, she tells me what shes full but some babies eat tons.. why is mine eating so little?

@ScarMatty The ' puffy crisps' are more often than not over 90% just veg with some added water or corn. Hardly junk. nope, it is pure junk there are 70% corn and 15 %. oil (like Cheetos and Doritos) with some nutrition void vegetable dried powder so they can list the vegetable on the packet . And it seems that trick worked if you truly believe they are made out of veggies
An extruded snack is the ultimate ultra processed food which involves high pressure, high heat, high velocity, special industrial machines .

Artificial and processed food is highly addictive. Often sweet tasting powder (apple for example) is added to add sugar without having to list it on the label

@LeGrandBleu

Well my packets definitely aren't 90% corn.

Confused

Well mine definitely isn't even 70%

But no, I have better things to do that start taking and uploading photographs because you're incapable of realising that not everything is always the way you think Grin

Yeah I wouldn’t worry. My almost 11 month old still throws most of his food on the floor, sometimes eats a lot and other time’s refuse everything. He remains breastfed on demand.
He recently had his 1 year check and I mentioned this and the HV reassured me he is thriving, is a healthy height/ weight and as long as he was experiencing flavours / textures she wasn’t in the slightest bit concerned.
She reminded me ‘food is fun until they’re 1’ and that from 1 they should be gradually increasing they’re food intake and reducing milk but this is a slow process over a year.
Of course speak to a health professional if you’re concerned about they’re height / weight / development etc but this all sounds totally normal and age appropriate!

@coulis I agree with you

OP my 6.5 month old will sometimes eat no solids at all and sometimes I cant get it in his mouth quick enough. Ive stopped trying to second guess it tbh and im making sure what I do get in him has a load of nutrients - so natural yoghurt with live cultures, healthy fats, veg (although he seems to hate ALL veg atm), fruit etc.
