Posting in desperation really - DD2 will be one in a fortnight and is still pretty much EBF. I started BLW at 7 months and she showed no intrest - finally started putting food in her mouth at 10 months but still just nibbles rather than eats. I have tried -

1/ Not BF - she went 8 hrs without anything before i gave in
2/ Spoon feeding and finger foods - with both she'll have a couple of mouthfulls then loose intrest
3/ Different flavours
4/ Different people - she goes to a childminders for 3 hrs once a week and refuses food
5/ Eating with her - she just copies by trying to feed me!
6/ Feeding her seperately so i could give her all my attention but she still wouldn't eat

Everything I tried (except not BF which i only did for 3 days) i tried every snack time/meal for 10 days. I am at my witts end and desperately want my boobs back. Can anyone help?

I'd have her checked out by a GP. If they can't find any reason (acid reflux? ) I'd give her the food, maybe steamed veg or a some pasta, sit near by and leave her to it. She will eat or she won't. After 30 mins or so, get her down from the chair and make sure she gets no biscuits or other snacks till next time she is scheduled to eat. I suspect that she's on a bit of a power trip! You need to show her that food comes at meal times and failure to consume it will mean hunger.
