Anyone else still struggling with solids?

Question

My baby turned six months on Nov 4th and we have been trying solids since she was 4 months old but she literally wants nothing to do with it. We have tried oatmeal, all types of veggies and fruits. I have tried pieces of banana and pieces of strawberry in that mesh chew thing....she doesn't want any of it! I see everyone else posting about how much food their baby is eating and I get worried! Is anyone else struggling like us???

Answer

Remember that solids are just for fun until they are 1 so don’t stress just yet if she’s not into it. Eventually she will be but her main food should be from breastfeeding or formula.

Answer

Same boat, we have tried lots of things but baby girl is not that interested. I'll continue to try and I'm sure eventually she will come around!

Answer

Same here. We've tried oatmeal, pears, apples, banana and avocado. The only thing he liked to the point of grabbing the spoon and bowl, is rice cereal. However, I disposed of all of it after the news reports of high levels of arsenic and heavy metals found specifically in rice cereal. So it's back to the drawing board!

Answer

My daughter hated any type of baby food so we stopped and when she turned 6 months we started baby led weaning. She loves food now.

Answer

Don’t worry. My first liked all food. This one doesn’t.

Answer

Our son turned 6 months on Nov 3. We started solids just a week before then. He was so uninterested at first but it took some trial and error to find things he likes. Turns out he loves carrots and pears but hates apples and bananas. But he still doesn’t eat a ton. Only a few bites and then he’s done. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just keep trying new things. It’s mostly for fun at this age and there’s no reason to stress if they’re not eating a ton of food. ☺️
