8 month old not taking solids?

angela

it’s weird because when we introduced them at 6 months he was EAGER to eat them. he’d open his mouth and follow the spoon and even try to feed himself, but lately he can be so hungry that he’s whining yet he won’t take the food no matter how much i try. i can get him to take a few bites before i just give in and let him have the breast and he’ll drink away. does anyone have this problem or know why this could be??

he’s at the age where i want to be able to give him solids when it’s a little less convenient for me to be breastfeeding like out in public or at a restaurant. i also need to start him in daycare soon as i’ll be working and it’s be easier if he ate solids because i already hardly have time to pump.
