what do you do if your baby won't eat any babyfood?

Question

My baby is 9 months old..and was a late bloomer when she started eating solids.At first she seemed to love all the babyfood..just recently since she turned 8 months old.I can't seem to get her to eat any babyfood..veggies/meat..she only likes cereal and fruit.

Answer 1

Probably she is noticing what you are eating. She can have mashed potatoes, apple sauce, mashed carrots, Really you could make her food in a blender, but if she wants to feed herself let her. If she is on whole milk, give her cheese. If she is on eggs, make scrambled. She can eat canned veggies, diced and canned fruits diced. Yogurt is good for babies if the doctor has her on whole milk.Crackers, meat loaf in very small pieces, noodles, rice, etc. Let her eat what you have minus the spicyness and in very small pieces that can be gummed.

Answer 2

Well, remembering how meat and veggie babyfood tasted, I don't blame her! But she does need a better variety for the sake of her health. Perhaps you can prepare your own for her; i.e., put meats and veggies in blender or food processor (separately of course). Try it. This way perhaps you can add a little fruit to your home-made version and that will pump up the taste for her. If you are already doing this, sorry I can't help, but I'm sure you'll get some great responses.

Gerber makes or made Simple Recipes. They were the meats mixed with fruits. That was the only way my daughter would eat meats. Otherwise, my daughter only ate sweet potatoes, peaches or Gerber oatmeal w/bananas. There is not much you can do but keep trying. As long as she is healthy I wouldn't worry, but you could ask the doctor about a vitamin. Polyvisol is an infant vitamin that you put in their bottle, it can be used to make sure they get what they need until they eat it in other foods themselves. My daughter wouldn't eat much but those three foods until she was almost two, so good luck. (my son would eat anything that came close to his mouth, go figure)

Answer 4

My toddler is 5 a million/2 months previous yet i began him on cereal at 4 months. that is only for prepare before each and every thing, and ensure no longer to make it too thick. in case your toddler nevertheless has the tongue-thrust reflex then he may no longer be waiting for solids, so be very careful that each and every thing is tremendous thinned so he would not choke. i began making toddler nutrition, and so a strategies i have made purees of sweet potato, squash, and apples and presented them very slowly. At breakfast he receives a million oz..of apples and a million oz..cereal pronounced through a 6 oz..bottle. At lunch he receives a million oz..sweet potatoes and a million oz..cereal pronounced through 6 oz..bottle. He receives a 6 oz..bottle late afternoon, then at dinner he receives a million oz..squash and a million oz..cereal pronounced through 6 oz..bottle. For his bedtime bottle he's taking 8 oz..and he's down for the evening! Your toddler should be in a position of inform you even as he's finished, that is yet in a unique way you may tell if he's waiting for solids. only because your physician says to feed him does no longer recommend your toddler is bodily waiting yet, and also you extremely do not pick him to choke! best of luck:)

It means she doesn't want it anymore. Give her some real food. With my first child we went from formula to food before he turned one. It' sokay as long as its mushed or cut up small.... Once she tastes the vegetables you eat, she'll like the flavors...

Scrambled eggs. There are junior foods for older babies. As babies get older they are more tactile and want to things they can touch and have more texture to them.
