Hi Everyone! I struggle sometimes to make my 6 month old baby daughter eat solid food.

What I have tried so far is this:

  • Eliminate any distractions such as the TV
  • No forcing her to eat
  • Try to make her play with the food with her hands
  • Always help her to grab the spoon so she can put it in her mouth on her own
  • Put her in her baby chair to eat
  • Synchronize the feeding time with our own eating time

Despite trying all of these, there are days that she really doesn't want to eat and prefers the baby bottle. Wanted to check with you all if you have experienced the same and see what you have tried so far?

I welcome any feedback!

We just gave ours as much or as little as she wanted and over time she got more and more used to it. But in the beginning it was like you said, sometimes she would eat some and other times she wasn’t interested. It’s probably nothing to worry about. Oh and try a few different flavors/foods to see which ones she likes best. Ours definitely liked certain flavors more than others from the start.

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
  2. No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions
