Solids not going well - 8mths

For breastfed babies I like to remember

"foods before one are just for fun"

They will get their nutrition from you and a lot of babies will turn their noses up. Boobie is better lol

What all the others girls have said is so true and I all I wanted to add is that we were in exact same position.

Mackenzie didn't show ANY interest until aroun 11/12 months and that was just tastes here and there and around 14 months started actually eating meals. She is now 17 months and eats better than some other bubs who started eating earlier!

She tries new things all the time and last week she started eating weetbix with milk which she previously hated! I thought she would never eat and I would be breastfeeding till she was at school but she surprised us all! Basically we just kept offering without forcing and got into a good habit of having some time in the high chair each meal so she got used to it. Good luck!

Well I am so glad this thread has helped others out there. It can be hard with all the mainstream pressure out there to be doing certain things at certain times. Heidi is enjoying her foods a little more. Just trying to do what the girls suggested - lots of variety and fingerfoods. Actually ate a bit of porrige of a spoon this morning, thanks to a very interesting piece of cardboard that joined us for breakfast! LOL
