Re: Re: 6 month old won't eat!

Thank you so much for the advice! Her docter says she should be on stage two and she isn't even eating stage one. I will give her more time before I give her more. Thanks!

Re: Re: Re: 6 month old won't eat!

Hi there Nicloe ...

When my kids were little a couple of them also tried to stay away from the fruits and Vegies... many times the taste is just too intense for their taste buds.

What I did to get them used to it is put a spoonful of fruits or vegies into their rice or oatmeal cereal, then after a couple of weeks I added another and so on ... it worked really well and they didn't mind eating it.

I hope it will work for you... let me know how things go

Hi

My daughter was on breast milk only till about 7 months - showed no interest in food whatsoever. When she did I did as the previous advise and go slowley. You dont want to put her off the eating itself by what you are feeding her - it may lead to problems later. Both my sons were on baby rice at 5/6 weeks so it just shows how different they are. Good luck and don't worry - I reckon that as long as children are not loosing weight they are fine.
