Nearly 9 month old just not interested in solids and now her bottle

[MissMolly88]

My 9 month old has never been big on her bottle, never gone past 6oz in each feed. She is formula fed as I didn't get any milk to breastfeed.

She's been on solids since 6 and a half months, I started with porridge and fruit purée. Porridge is her favourite, any fruit purée she loves. But now she's nearly 9 months I've started doing 3 meals a day. She will have all her breakfast, porridge and a yogurt. Lunch I'll just do her picky bits and snacks and dinner just do what we have if she can have it. When I put lunch and dinner infront of her she just looks at me like I've got 10 heads. She will pick at it but eats next to none of it. She's now being so fussy with her bottle, some days will have 8oz milk. Yesterday she had 330ml of milk all day. She would happily just have a morning and night bottle if I let her. She doesn't cry for her bottle anymore, doesn't fuss for it. I've started given her multi vits so she's still getting some vit intake. But I'm honestly so worried.

The only thing she will finish is jar food, but I really don't want to feed her jar food. We've just moved so my new GP haven't sorted a health visitor so I'm at a loss for advice really

Food before one is just for fun.

Don't panic I had this with my Velcro baby and she didn't really get into food until we moved on to whole milk about 1

She was and remains to be very much a milk baby even she was much older andon full solids.

They all get there eventually don't panic. It's a comfort thing.

My second baby hates milk but loves food. They are all different and my milk baby is a fab eater, how they eat when they are little is not a indicator of they will be when they are older re eating.

Sorry I probably sound a bit ignorant but I'm 60 and had DS at 21 so a very long time ago. Is there something wrong with jar foods? I fed my son jar foods, we all did then and just gave them bits of our dinner when they showed interest or to play with while we ate, he's 40 now, very healthy and eats anything.
Surely if she's not eating and you have to give her vitamin supplements it would be better to have jar foods for a bit longer and then gradually introduce bits and pieces.
Surely jar foods would be better than pills.

Absolutely nothing wrong with jar foods. I just think they are overly expensive and also the flavours are always the same, there isn't much variety so I don't want her to keep having the same meals rotated and get bored. I'd personally get bored if I had the same thing rotated in the week. I also don't give pills, it's liquid drops into her morning porridge

If we are eating something we always try her and she always always eats it and gives it a try. But if I then plated that food up for her she would refuse it. I've even tried pretending to spoon it off my plate with her spoon, but she's way to clever😂 I had scrambled egg the other day and gave her the same. She ate some of mine so I then gave her some off her plate and she refused

To save you getting more stressed why not seek out the organic jars and then add bits and pieces including bananas etc.She will be fine and you will know she is eating a variety of foods.You you think they all taste the same but if she eats them there is your answer.Vitamin drops are fine in her porridge.
