He is 7 months old . He started solids at 4 months .And he was eating fine. But from the last week he has stopped eating solids i have tried giving different things but still he doesnt eat. And if i forcefully give him .anything he just vomits. Doctors say that he is NOT teething and he is fine its just some phase and it'll pass. But im very worried because he is getting very weak.

He may have decided that the feel of food in his mouth bothers him. You started him on solids very early but he doesn't really need them. He'll be fine having nothing but formula until he is a year old. Take a break for a few weeks, then start introducing the solids one at a time in small amounts. Under no circumstances should you be forcing him to eat. That presents a choking danger and can lead to eating disorders later.

i'm startled that they gained't take that a lot weight help heavily. And easily they are? you have considered seven distinctive medical doctors and a professional in 6 weeks? it somewhat is previous taking it heavily. have you ever tried giving him milk in some thing different than a bottle? I advise, is it available that he's having an exceedingly tough time teething and sucking purely hurts? See if he's to any extent further attracted to exploit in a cup with a spout, an elementary cup, or a syringe. you may desire to be very specific of your self before calling an authority "an fool" inspite of the indisputable fact that. I advise, if it is so obtrusive, easily you recognize what's incorrect already? there is greater to medicine than learning warning signs on the information superhighway. Refusing a bottle isn't a "symptom". it somewhat is a behaviour. weight help is a symptom of not feeding, and you already understand approximately that.

Feed him more formula. Solids aren't needed for the first year, they are just a supplement. It isn't important to feed him solids at this point. Just feed him more formula and try again with the solids later.
Do NOT force feed him! It will just make things worse.

Don't worry about it. Solids are not even necessary at that age, they are just for the baby getting used to the textures and tastes. He should be getting most of his nutrition from breastmilk or formula at that age anyway.

maybe he's sick. flu or something. if his doctor tells you that he's fine & you're for sure he's not, then take him to a different one & get a second opinion. maybe it IS a phase & the reason he's weak is cuz of him not eating anything.

mix baby cereal in with his formula and that will substitute for whole foods. don't worry my niece did that for a lil while and the cereal is the reason why she is healthy and plump now. it has all the nutrition as regular foods do.

I would take my doctor's advice not to worry, that it is a phase. When you take baby in for next checkup, ask for advice again.
