But it seemed when I did that, she wasn't so interested at doing it as dinner and would eat. HTH, Love Stacie >> Stacie- LOL, that's to funny. Thanks for the response, guess I'll try anything :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try foods that encourage self-feeding. It may be that he isn't fond of the soft foods he's getting, or the feel of the spoon, or that he isn't hungry enough for solids at that moment. Dice up some bananas in finger-sized bites and let him try to feed himself. If he doesn't care for bananas, try an avocado or a baked sweet potato cut into finger-sized bites. If you have spent all his life letting him decide when he's hungry and when he's full, starting solids should follow the same path. If he feeds himself, there's no doubt that he is still interested and hungry enough to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
