Is it just me?

Question

My baby is almost 10m, still refusing all food except a little fruit. Still waking up atleast 5 times at night and still only ebf, driving me crazy am so frustrated all the time 😭

Answer

My first had no interest in food until a year old so she was Ebf that whole time. You're definitely not the only one

Answer

My son actually vomits when he has real food. 🤦🏻‍♀️The pediatrician said he’s just not ready. He will eat purées and oatmeal but that’s it. My first was the same way. She didn’t eat solid food until a few days before her first birthday.

Answer

My son is ebf and won’t eat unless it’s those gerber puffs. I think it might be due to teething because before he started getting teeth he was starting to eat more things now he’ll taste things once and refuse to eat it. We’re also team no sleep over here as he’s up often to eat or just fuss.

Answer

My first was like this with solids at first, so with my second I do baby led weaning. He’s doing great… eats so many different things from pasta to fruit to meat etc. I think baby led weaning really made a difference! Give appropriate size pieces of food and let your little one explore! This gets them comfortable with different textures and allows them to explore at their own pace.

Answer

My ebf son is the same way. He spits all food out except baby cereal mixed with bm and puree. So frustrating. He also refuses all bottles and cups. He's underweight. Drs want him to gain but it's not that easy. I want to desperately wean I'm over it all. 4th baby and the most stubborn. He's seen an ot to help with cup and food training.

Answer

Yes little guy still wakes up to feed as far as solid just doing basic things but in the begging he just played with the purées I let him get down and dirty then he realized what it was and loved it, he is now eating eggs and he eats everything with hands as it helps with feeling the texture, grasp! Just be patient and do basic things no need to do anything extra.

Answer

My little girl just turned ten months and have all of a sudden really turned a corner on solids where she is finally putting in quite decent amounts of food - if you keep trying it might just happen one day! :) I haven't followed any particular method, but the first few months we basically gave her only single ingredient and mainly veggies so perhaps no wonder she wasn't particularly interested.. :) Now a bit later on started mixing it up a bit more and bought some of those veggie straw snack things that melt in their mouth which she LOVES, got some baby cereal that turns into a porridge, some jars or organic purées, letting have stuff of my plate of suitable things that I'm eating like a bit of pasta, potato, smoked salmon, mozzarella cheese, and also the old veggies and she seemed to have the switch turned on! I've also done a mix of us feeding and putting things in front of her to self feed. I think what might have made the most difference is: the puffy veggie straws as it's such a cool texture and something she really enjoys putting in her mouth to spark the interest, the porrige as I make it dense enough so she can pick it up the stuff that falls off the poon herself and mix with some banana so it can go down multiple ways and could have different flavours and I think fills her up quite effectively, also some spagetti or noodles are super fun to play with for her. She has also recently finally become a better sleeper again and what i think made a difference there is that I would try to give a bit of solids later, have very busy days for her, and holding out in the night and trying to skip or delay at least one of her feedigs by trying to rock back to sleep, hand her over to dad, and pulling out my nipple quicker after she's done actively feeding and just sucking for the comfort. After a few days she started doing a few stretches of 4-3 hours instead of every two hours which was a big difference for us!! :)

Answer

I’m exactly the same, my little girl is waking constantly through the night and barely touches her food unless it’s sweet (fruit, yogurt etc) she’s ebf I don’t know if that makes a difference. She’s the complete opposite of my son tho, as he ate anything and everything at this age!! 
My doctor said not to worry unless she starts losing weight, which she’s not
