10 month old won't chew/swallow. Just won't eat :(

[sharnw]

My daughter is 10 months old, she used to eat custards, cereal, weet bix, porriage, soft/chuncky foods, mashed potato and gravy, banana...
Now I've moved onto finger foods; big chuncky food and she won't eat anything now
All she wants is breast milk and will drink water. She's acting normal, she's not crying at anytime..
The food will be in her mouth but she won't swallow anything. She just holds it in her mouth for a few minutes than decides to spit it out. That's also including the custards and all the food I have already mentioned (soft foods)

It's been going on for 2 days. Should I worry? Or take her to the doctor

As long as she's otherwise well and happy, I'd not worry. Just keep offering a good variety of foods including things she liked previously, let her BF on demand and keep water available. I wouldn't make a fuss of anything - no encouragement to eat, no praise if she does and no showing disappointment if she doesn't eat or spits things out. Let her keep control over what she eats and how and I'm sure she'll come out of it just fine

I agrer, and she may be teething too.

As long as she is breastfeeding, getting wet/soiled diapers and not losing weight, doesn't have a high fever, etc. then you are all good.
Like PP wrote, keep offering it to her but don't push it. She will eventually eat again.
