DD is nearly 8 months old and has been flat out refusing any food at all until last week. We'd previously tried purees, finger foods, spoon feeding etc and everything was met with mouth clamped shut and a meltdown. HV told us to just wait it out and keep trying.
So I bought some of the lumpier pouches and other bits and just kept trying every few days.
In the last week she has finally started eating but I don't know if we need to be doing anything else or on what schedule should we add other things.
She has baby porridge with fruit puree for breakfast, approximately half a pouch of food for lunch (spaghetti bol, cottage pie and cheesy tomato pasta have all been hits) followed by either some fruit puree or some cut up fruit. For her evening meal she's having the other half of the pouch and either veg or fruit pieces.
She doesn't seem to like eating food herself, she'll hold a piece of toast or fruit but not put it in her mouth she'll only eat it if it's in my hand.
She is still having her formula on top of this and a sippy cup with water at meal times (not that she ever seems to drink the water).
Need reassurance really, are we doing ok? What can we do to make things better/easier?
