Is that even a 'thing'? My 10.5 mo is insanely fussy. She was great when we started weaning, ate loads, wide variety.
Now, she will sometimes eat okay, but mostly she refuses, or throws, or spits back out almost everything.
Today, she had a small bowl of porridge for breakfast, and a couple of spoonfuls of Greek yoghurt with fruit puree. Turned down toast.
Lunch: refused tuna and cheese sandwich - ate one mouthful (no exaggeration), refused apple (chews, then spits out), refused carrot batons entirely, ate a handful of grapes.
Dinner: refused omelette entirely, refused over half of each of four slices of banana - bites off a bit, then throws the rest, ate a fifth of an apple and cinnamon muffin (homemade), bit a tiny bit off a breadstick, then spat half back out. Refused anything else.
She won't eat veggie pouches, or meal pouches, only eats yoghurt and porridge from a spoon, nothing else, so we are finger foods by default.
The main problem, other than the waste making me see red, is that her poos are still like a pre-weaned baby half the time - soft, runny, explosive quite often. I'm not fecking surprised, she mostly doesn't eat enough to make them more solid. She still has four/five bottles a day, but she's big -10.9kg, very tall, and was 10lbs at birth.
What do I do? I'm getting annoyed and frustrated every meal time, and sick of having to make an extra bottle at bedtime because she won't bloody eat dinner. Obviously that's not a huge deal, but it has so many knock ons - cost, faff, and mostly the poo situation. I have to take two outfits out with us as spares, as its normal for her to need them.
I've had the GP test her poo twice, to see if there's a stomach infection or other reason for the poo situation, has come back clear both times, HVs say airy things about 'oh, just keep trying/offer what you have' which doesn't help.
Sure fire foods are grapes, mostly bananas (today was weird), porridge, and breadsticks. Grapes make her poo worse, so I can't rely on them for fruit/veg, but there are days when that's all she will take.
I'm so frustrated with the whole bloody business.
Oh, and before anyone asks, yes, she's been teething for months - we're up to seven teeth through, but it never seems to stop, so unless I just have to wait until all bloody 20 are through, it can't be blamed on that.
Help!
