Baby is 10mo and has been on solids since 6mo.

At first I thought he was taking well to it, would try most things, bring things to his mouth, chew and swallow small amounts. But it just doesn’t seem to be progressing at all!

He rarely consumes more than a couple of small bites. Most things are thrown to the floor pretty much immediately after a cursory sniff. When things do make it to his mouth, he’ll keep it in his mouth for ages before finally spitting it out.

Feel like I’ve tried everything - soooo many different foods and textures. Waiting 30 minutes after a feed, an hour, two hours etc. Providing milk alongside the meal sometimes. Self-feeding, spoon feeding. Putting things in front of him bit by bit vs the plate in front of him. In the high chair or on my knee. Serving thing off my plate. I pretty much always eat alongside him to help model. Nothing seems to make a discernible difference.

It also seems that more and more meals are ending in him getting upset, even though I am incredibly mindful of not forcing anything on him and letting him take it at his own pace. This evening he literally just looked at some of the food and burst into tears.

I wasn’t really that concerned up until the last week or so. It feels like he’s fast approaching one year, and I’m worried he still won’t be consuming anything at all other than milk…

Did anyone face this at this age? Did anything help? Or did it continue into toddlerhood? 😅

P.S. this was tonight’s dinner. One green bean was sucked on, the bread and some of the cucumber got a cursory nibble and everything else was thrown or flat out refused before he started crying.

ETA: not sure why the title has ‘aww’ at the end. Please ignore 😂

Help 🥲 aww
