Hi All
My son, who is breastfeeding, still has very little interest in solid food. We started at 5.5 months with standard purees and switched to baby-led weaning at 9 months because he so disliked being fed and really wasn't eating anything. With baby-led weaning he initially started to eat a bit, but the novelty wore off. He plays with food a little but really doesn't get any significant calories from solids. I nurse him on demand and we co-sleep so he nurses at night too.
I don't know anyone else whose 10 month old doesn't eat any solids and I am wondering if anyone else has had this experience? I would love him to learn to eat a bit so that he could have a snack and decrease his dependence on me when I am out for a few hours. He doesn't love the bottle either -- knows how to take it but often holds out for me to return.
If would also help to be able to feed him some solids when we are out together because he will not nurse in public or out of the house…too distracted.
thanks!!
