7½ month old not eating solids?

I breast fed all five of mine. You do not have to feed a breast fed baby until they are a year old. Some I didn't. But some babies want more. I start with mashed bananas because that is so easy to get and it is the closest thing to mothers milk. Second is avocados mashed with the bananas. Rice cereal is best if you want them to sleep through the night.

When they are teething all bets are off. Any thing can bother them. Their sleep is off, their feed is off, and they just hurt. It is gods joke, on babies, to throw that at them when they have so much going on already. They can have a fever, they can have a runny nose, the can throw up, the can have runny eyes, all just because they are cutting a tooth.. Poor thing. She must not feel very good.

Relax, you are doing the right thing. You are breast feeding your baby, pat yourself on the back. Give her some rice cereal at 6pm and hope she sleeps from midnight to 6am. At seven months if they eat cereal in the evening they have the chance to sleep for those six hours and to me, that's all night.....

As long as she continues to breastfeed and isn't losing weight she will fine nutritionally. However, it can be really stressful when you want her to take solids and she refuses. Are you giving her homemade foods, or jarred. My daughter refused to eat jarred baby foods, but she loved eating foods that I purreed. You could also try mixing in a little bit of breast milk with the food she's having to make the taste familiar.

Teething can definitely cause children to refuse solids, especially when there is the comfort of breastfeeding. I would keep offering her the solids, but don't push it. Although it's stinks right now, she will eventually start taking them again.

As long as she is not losing weight she is ok. Try rice biscuits or little pieces of toast, maybe the fascination of actually holding the food will entice her to eat. Teething may be making her wary although pureed food shouldn't hurt. Ice cubes helped the teething for mine. If your baby was hungry you would know about it. I think just follow her lead for the time being but keep offering different things.

This is common, and the answer is virtually always: time for self-feeding.

Give her a stalk of steamed broccoli, a piece of whole wheat toast, a cheese curd, a long slice of cucumber, something she can pick up and gnaw at.

Googling "baby-led weaning," though the kid is already weaned, will give you some ideas for suitable finger foods.

While she's sitting in her high chair, next to the table, give her some of the food you are eating but dice it up into pieces she can chew on.
