Hi ! I'm making this post to reach out to other mommies for some advice.

My son now 8 months old, happy as ever and thriving does not enjoy food and is not interested in it after the second taste. He nurses and is totally content and happy nursing through the day, when he wakes in the nights and before nap time.

I do try new a different foods with him and we have been trying since 6 months without being forceful. There was a week where I tired to be consistent when I thought we found something he likes but after three days he lost complete interest and wouldn't take it. Currently when we sit down in the morning he'll open up for the first bite maybe second and then is not interested.

He's tried:

carrots

peas

strawberries

Apple

banana

sweet potatoes

baby oatmeal and rice cereals

I tried home made oatmeal it was a disaster.

we have also done a bunch of organic store bought love child baby food packets which have mixed ingredients like kale sweet potatoes and broccoli etc

He's also tried baby mum mum's and those little bite sized treats that dissolve he's unsure about those but tends to suck on them anyway for a bit each time.

It stresses me out a bit that he's giving me such a rough go with food because his dad's family is constantly talking about my little guy eating and that he wants food and can smell it and is so interested because he watches our plates. It makes me stressed then I find my son is fussy when we are there and they start saying oh it's his teeth and he wants food and they start suggesting things. Like once I was told oh " I hope your not going to be one of those mommies that breast feeds till he's 3 or 4" It was so insulting because we worked very hard to breastfeed and she isbt a mommy. It makes me feel like I'm starving him and not doing my job as his mommy.

So mommies advice ?? What can I try with my son ? Has anyone else had a picky boobie loving baby ??
