I do try and feed her some rice pablum..and although she seems to like it..she only will eat a few bites...sometimes none.
She did accept the taste of sweet potaoes and carrots...a little bit
She totaly rejected apple sauce, peaches and pears (either alone or mixed with the rice pablum)
....but she generaly just wants formula...most days shes not interested in the pablum at all....shes very chubby, happy and healthy...is it ok to just let her have the formula........shes just not ready? Anyone else have a child like this?
(my two older children really seemed to enjoy solids and started at 3 months...by 6 months they were eating lots of it)

At 6 months to a year is the time to introduce solids but the solids are not their main form of nutrition so I think it's fine to just give formula. I've read stories of babies that thrive off of breast milk only for the first year. If she's not interested in solids, don't push it, maybe give it another month or so and try again.

It's ok, I would just keep trying. My son was about five months when I started him and it was on and off, he would eat it some days and some days he would take a bite and that was it. I just kept him on formula and tried all the time feeding him with jar food. Good luck.

Six months is the usual time to start solids, so your other children were early. Don't force the issue, let her see you eating and wait a few weeks. Consult her doctor if you're worried, but sounds like she's fine.

Most breastfed babies are that way at first. Just try one for a week then the next week try another, etc. Do you see a pediatrician? Your Ped. should give you al of this info.
