Good morning lovely moms,
I am new here and joined in desperation. I'm hoping I can get some feedback/help as I am a new mom and have no experience in this area.
My little one is just over 10 months old now. She started solids a few months ago and was great at eating cereal, fruits/veg purees etc. She has been teething and now has 4 upper teeth and 5 at the bottom. She has stopped showing interest in solids over the last few months. We thought it might just be teething but it's been so long now. She will eat a good bit once in a while but not regularly. The pediatrician says she is growing well and is maintaining her growth curve. His recommendation was to start cutting back on formula and giving her more solids. We hadn't even started that yet but over the past few days she's cut back on formula herself, hardly wants a bottle and cries/tries to jump out of her seat when presented with one. She has no interest in eating either. I have tried everything from purees, to finger foods, table foods etc. She will eat a very small amount and then throws everything off her plate and swats away the spoon. Behaviour wise she is happy, and her normal self and is full of energy. I'm at my wits end because I don't know what to do to encourage her to eat more solids and now she doens't want her bottles either. Help!!! Any suggestions would be great. I don't wanna feel like I am alone in this issue.
