DS is nearly 9 months now and we are still struggling with solids, mainly refusal. He pretty much exists on stewed fruit, cream cheese on toast and pieces of melon (oh and yoghurt). He seems to turn his nose up at everything else and I am finding it really hard going, particularly the constant waste. I spend time trying to sort him something out and then he won't even try it. I expect that this isn't uncommon, yes?
Do I just keep offering and try to ignore the wastage? If he refuses, should I just give him what he likes, even if that means he just eats melon all day?
I am going to try giving him some of whatever we are eating because I don't want to make a whole lot of stuff specially for him to find it just languishes in the freezer because he won't eat it. My plan is to just offer him that and if he doesn't want it, to have some fruit chopped and ready to go.
My 1st son was like a little bird and just opened his mouth and ate everything I offered him so this is a bit of a mystery to me.
He is otherwise thriving. I'm not at all concerned about his health, just wish he would at least try some of the foods I offer
