A feeding issue...

[JennyLynn512]

Alright, I am still breastfeeding Valerie but for the past two months she has also been having solids. This past month we have been doing about 3 meals (solids) a day. She is an excellent eater and would always eat about the whole jar, sometimes more. Lately though, she has been clamping her mouth shut and refusing to eat anything unless it is peaches or bananas. What is going on? For two months she was eating like a pro and very ready for solids. Now all of a sudden she will only eat these two things?

This will only get more complex as she grows...

Seriously, get used to it.

I had a child like this. Would go on strikes where all she would eat was hotdogs or apples or whatever.

It doesn't hurt them to eat the same thing over and over again for a week or two while they burn themselves out of it. Especially since she's still getting most of her nutrition from breastmilk.

Now that same child will eat everything - except fish. But I never tried to feed her fish as a baby or toddler anyway so who knows.

Just let her eat what she'll eat, and keep trying to introduce new stuff occasionally. I read somewhere it might take 6-8 times of trying for a baby to be willing to try a food they normally turn their nose down at.
