How can I make my 14 month old baby eat solid food?

Question

I need help! My 14 months old baby hates solid food. I've tried everything to make him eat but no luck. I am worried that he's not getting all the food nutriens he needs for his age. His pediatrician told me to give him Vit. supplements but vitamins are not enough, I want him to learn how to eat different variety of solid foods. Any suggestion?

Answer 1

children go for bright colours. try make the food attractive. perhaps take it slow,.he may not be ready yet. don't force too much, cos his body will reject anything you give him.

Answer 2

Hi..have you tried turning feed time into a game,my baby is only 10mths old but i'm getting her onto semi solids by blending them mushy and i pretend to eat a spoonful saying mmmm to her and then puting spoon to her mouth saying mmmm she giggles takes some but usually she spits it out a little but perseverence and patience i think will win out...best of luck.

Answer 3

hi lol
mostly ,your baby is a very sensitive one(hyper) i mean ,,keeps so much amount of data(visual,touch,hearing..) in mind with strong relationships to his feelings,such kind needs higher attention of his mother,
0_consider kid as VERY sensitive creature,everything could leave a print on his free,new,clean page.very important to keep this in mind always...
1_check the best psychological time ,when he is glad,not full of milk
2_look for a place that has no bad memories in(i.e had fallen in,was beaten in,had suffered of hanger...etc)
3_befor those points ,use croon to make a connction between a good feeling and you ,when you croon,then you use this later(during feed)
4_in the first few times ,just give him a small piece,keeping the same level of happyness
5_in all cases,don't force him to eat,,,,because this means to creat bad connection between eating and pain..
6_use incense to creat fine environment also

Answer 4

Children eat if they are hungry. Stop the juice and sweet drinks , see what happens. I bet you won't do it, mothers are so worried that they go overboard trying to make their little darlings happy!
