Is your baby barely eating solids??

Question

I started solids at 6 months and he wasn't really ready. Gagging and refusing for the most part. Now he has yogurt, baby food (in the jar or pouch), bananas, and Cheerios.  That's it! 
Any suggestions? I see some babies are already eating meat, pasta and self feeding!!

Answer

We began with BLW which is why we are so into 'adult' foods and self feeding! We have had a huge decrease in eating this week while her two top teeth poke through. All she's been eating are cherrios, yogurt melts, and the occasional purée. Oh and chicken fingers. Horrible I know. She finally ate a good salmon dinner tonight! But just thinking if he eats cherrios, he 'should' theoretically be okay with solids since they require to be chewed very well. Maybe start off with something soft like salmon or egg yolk? Maybe it's just a texture thing that he's just not used to yet 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

i feed my son fruits, breads/ carbs some veg ( loves cucumbers) and i offer protein. most things he picks up and chews and most comes right out of his mouth! so i dont know how much he actually eats. he used to like mum mums but i think they are too easy to eat now! he likes chomping on something harder

Answer

Had the same problem with my 9.5 months was only eating fruits chunks as solid food..and out of nowhere this week we were at the restaurant and i gave her a few things from my plate and she ate everything, she asked for more! I was surprised because she was usually a fuzzy baby ( found out she was tired of eating purees) . Now its been almost a week that she's eating the same meal as we do. Keep trying with soft solid food , when your baby will be ready it will work!
