Hi dusty
Still no food. I havent been that much depressed with it as im taking advice from this thread food is fun until one

She still loves to eat off our bowls such as chicken pieces and two days ago carrot in a pasta dish but nothing substantial

So still fully bf and shes going on 10 months

I would just do some more reading up on BLS. I think that would reassure you because it sounds totally normal to me

DD1 didn't even touch food till around 9 months and then it was still slow and steady from there, we did BLS. She was over 18mo before she had what I would consider meals rather than tastes and tests of food. She is 4 now and eats anything and everything and doesn't stop. Trust your babies instincts, they will know what they need and handle it if given the opportunity, so just keep offering!

How about you frame it this way - how many adults do you know that still only have breastmilk? She will eat eventually and it sounds like she's doing well enough without it. It's not like she doesn't know how to eat, she just isn't that fussed on it as a food source yet.

Not only 'food is for fun until they are one' but also 'parents provide, babies decide'.

As long as you are providing her the opportunity to try different tastes and textures (which you said you do), she is totally in charge of what she actually consumes. This is true for BLS as well as puree/mush-fed babies.
