Answer 1

Don't panic. If she is taking a bottle you have nothing to worry about. Before a year all of her nutrition comes from breastmilk/formula. Just keep offering solids, but don't force it, and keep giving her her bottle. She doesn't need solids, they are mainly practice at this age.

Answer 2

I would not worry about it, I did not start my either of my kids on any solids until between 9 to 12 months. Wait a few more weeks and try again. Most of all don't get angry at her, kids can sense that a mile away.

Answer 3

always give her a choice. at meal time just place the food in front of her on her high chair and see if she will eat what she wants. sometimes children dont like certain textures. let her figure out what she likes and you go from there. she is now suppose to try and feed herself. just make sure you try different types of fruits and veggies and meats.

Answer 4

Some kids arent ready for solids until a year or later, no big deal.

Just offer her finger foods, when you're having something that she can have (steamed veggies, soft fruits... etc...) sit her with you and put it on her tray. She will eat when she is ready.

Answer 5

My baby hates solids too, but has hated them from day one, the normal range they tell you to start. She loves cheerios though, because she can be in control. She wants to do it her self.

Answer 6

wait a month or so then see if you can find a feeder. it looks like a bottle, but can handle baby food or cereal. or you can put a tiny bit of cereal in her formula or milk. ask your pediatrician about that first.
