I don't know what to do about my DD, she won't eat anything at all other than drinking her formula. Still gaining weight and doing wet/ dirty nappies but my hv team are getting annoyed because she hasn't started eating any solids. I've tried everything I can think of so please throw any suggestions you have my way, short of giving up and crying in the corner I just don't know what to try.
We started of trying home made puree's, she's allergic to dairy so I thought it would be easier if I made them because I would know what was going into them. Tried carrot, parsnip, broccoli, pear, apple, banana, butternut squash, swede, cabbage, cauliflower, potato, sweet potato, blended rice, blended porridge (all with or without some of her formula added).
She screams at any attempt to give her any of these with a spoon so I tried giving her some in a bowl to let her play with in the hopes some ends up in her mouth, she just took to throwing the bowl away and screaming every time it was put infront of her.
Bought some baby porridge (found 2 without dairy added) she wont have it, tried baby rice and some jars of food, nope same reaction. Mushy rusks, nope.
Read about baby led weaning so I tried giving her some of the above veggies and fruits steamed and in small pieces, she'll put them in her mouth, grimace, start screaming and throw them away.
I've tried when she's hungry, after she's had half a bottle, when she's been playing for a while, morning lunchtime, evenings.
She's reaching for the food on her dads plate so I put some steamed veggies on there that he could let her have off his plate in the hopes she would try. Same reaction.
I literally have no idea what to try next, anyone any ideas? I just feel like a really shit mom right now
