I posted a thread when my baby was 7 months as he had no interest in food (puree or finger foods).
He is now 9 months old and very little has changed. He now picks up maybe 5% of foods I offer but eats nothing. Virtually nothing. He puts it to his mouth then throws it away, again and again. About 20% of the time he will eat a spoonfed yoghurt if he is distracted by something, like the TV or a toy, but more often than not refuses. We eat together at the dining table. I eat the same things I offer to him.
Everyone keeps telling me this is normal and I've been in contact with the HV near fortnightly about it, but I can't stop worrying about it. His peers are eating full meals, dropping bottles and actively want to eat, like they know food will sate their hunger.
I have tried reducing his milk feeds by 1oz per bottle but it has made no difference other than he is waking up more at night because he's hungry and nothing will settle him but a bottle.
Is it still OK? Google suggests seeking further help if baby eats no solids at 9 months.
I offer a fair variety, fruits and veg finger sized pieces, toast, crumpets, baby snacks, meat, saucy/potatoey homemade meals, pancakes, omelette, porridge etc at least twice a day, and sometimes I try lunch too.
