dd has been taking small spoon feeds for past 2 weeks now...due to medical reasons. Just started completely refusing spoon feeds 3 days ago. Should I keep on offering or just leave them and come back to them in a week or so? I think she's teething so could this be causing her to not want her spoon feeds? Anyone else had this problem? Thanks

My ds has started to do this.
I've still been offering the food to him but if he doesnt want it, I just take it away.
One of his back teeth have come through and one of his incisors are coming through too so it could be that.

If you offer without pressure (ie don't get cross or upset if she refuses and don't try to persuade her) she may come back round to it when she's in less pain.
TBH I'd probably go back to milk-only for the time being as it'll save you stress (of refusal) and effort (of making the stuff) so long as whatever medical condition you're weaning early because of won't be adversely affected by dropping solids for a little while.
