Hi Everyone! I struggle sometimes to make my 6 month old baby daughter eat solid food.
What I have tried so far is this:
- Eliminate any distractions such as the TV
- No forcing her to eat
- Try to make her play with the food with her hands
- Always help her to grab the spoon so she can put it in her mouth on her own
- Put her in her baby chair to eat
- Synchronize the feeding time with our own eating time
Despite trying all of these, there are days that she really doesn't want to eat and prefers the baby bottle. Wanted to check with you all if you have experienced the same and see what you have tried so far?
I welcome any feedback!
One of our kids would just faceplant onto the tray and nom nom food from there. The other liked picking stuff up and trying to find his mouth (1% success rate at first). Both now eat like normal people (eg like kids). For both we sat next to them and they watched us eating. We made it fun, all stuff you’re already doing. Your little one will be fine and you’re doing great 😀
First one didn’t want to stop nursing ever, second stopped on his own. They’re just different.
