Food refusing baby

[kiwiPlumapple]

Dd is 9 m
Ebf then started weaning at 6m
Has non Ige allergies to dairy egg beef and possibly wheat and carrot

She barely eats. Anything on a spoon is refused anything finger food on tray is thrown.
Weight is good
Still bf loads

Seems no interest in food even if I know she’s hungry
Yesterday she had 1 teaspoon of porridge and 1 teaspoon veg purée
Today half a teaspoon of yogurt
Do I just keep on persevering every day or should I stop for a week not offer then try again

What is the timing of her milk feeds? Is she filling up on milk shortly before a meal?

Does she show any interest in your food yet?

Fed usually about 6 am , 930 am before nap some days loads of little feeds other days a bigger feed it’s not really a routine
Feeds through the night but we co sleep so unsure exactly how much
I offer breakfast 745-8 but she doesn’t have any really.
She shows interest in our food but if I then hand any to her she throws it

I offer the food at least an hour after she’s had milk

My DS was like this: just wasn’t interested and I started getting quite stressed. I even took him to the GP who was a bit like hmm what do you want us to do about it and both GP and health visitor told me to just carry on offering food then one day at around 10-11 months it was like it just clicked and over the next few weeks he was eating more and more. By 12 months you’d never have known he was slow to wean.

Another vote fir this being fairly normal. My DD was like this. No tongue tie and no allergies. She just wanted to BF.

Just keep offering the food but don't stress if little goes in. In another month or two he'll probably just get it

Thanks so much that is reassuring- I’m just so worried as it seemed so little but at least I’m not alone !

Teething

I’d say just keep offering. I found I had to drop our wake up feed for my DD to show any interest in breakfast (we also cosleep so she feeds plenty through the night)

Could be teething or just that baby isn't totally ready yet. It's frustrating but keep offering food, especially ones you know baby likes. It's not always easy this weaning business. Could also try offering food before boob.

My friends baby was like this and her health visitor told her just to have food available, the baby wouldn't go hungry and would eat when she wanted it!

If you're bf then milk can still be main source of nutrition until around a year. My son wasn't interested in food really until around a year. Just keep offering and one day it'll click.

Ah yes I hadn’t thought of teeth she doesn’t have any yet so it’s probably imminent

I will keep offering food and see what happens ! It’s just frustrating as I really want her to eat (I think she senses my stress over this )

If it’s teething try cold and very smooth foods to help soothe the gums
