    hun dont get frustrated or disheartened, she will eat, when shes hungry, she will sense if your upset or frustrated, if she wont eat then just leave it

    Just relax hun, take a deep breath. You havent done anything wrong. As Olive said, she will eat whens shes hungry. I think shes too young to be not eating because you are feeding her, she wouldnt understand that. More than likley shes just not hungry. Try not to set the dinner time as a stressful time, its really not worth it.. (you need to try and save that stress for toddler hood! lol)

    A tip though.. i found opening my mouth to show DD she would copy me. Maybe that would help?

    Aww hun i totally agree with the girls, if she was seriously hungry she would take it.
    DD1 started solids at about 5mths, she went well for say 2 weeks then went completely off food... i stopped it and just tried every couple of weeks, she didn't start eating proper amounts until 8mths.

    One thing i did find worked better for A was if i fed her an hour after her milk feed, then her milk had had time to settle.

    GL and try to relax, could you maybe give the baby led solids a go? i haven't done it myself but it might be worth a shot.
