Preparing to get lectured at my Wic appointment today about my daughter not eating solids. 🙈

They used to give me a hard time about my son's weight, but that's when they went to their "heart healthy" program so they were also putting him on low-fat everything. So I talked to my pediatrician, and he sent them letters about keeping my son on whole milk and other foods. He also offered to speak to them directly if they continued to give me a hard time. I stopped using them after my son was four because it was annoying. I only went to them for formula with my daughter because I wasn't able to produce for her to nurse.

I’m not on wic but my daughter is having a hard time expecting solids also I just thought it would be nice to talk another mom going through he same thing at this point we tried so many times I’m at the mind set of she will eat when she’s ready

@alishap1212 Yeah, my daughter doesn't eat either right now, but at 6 - 7 months I still definitely don't think she was ready because her tongue thrust was still pretty strong and she instantly pushed it all out of her mouth. Now as she's getting older she has more interest in real food, not jarred baby food. She still won't eat it per say, but she definitely likes to put it in her mouth and chew on it, and such.

@bhtslove, aw the issues I’m having is she won’t open her mouth for the spoon he dr are so quick to say I need to take her to. Therapist I think she just needs time

@alishap1212 Yeah, mine would turn her head after she realized what I was putting in her mouth. 😂 My pedi said that it's not a big deal, she hasn't mentioned therapy once. Just said she might have a texture issue so we will have to go slow with her. I feel like it's still early with your little, I wouldn't rush therapy, but that's just me. 🤷‍♀️

@bhtslove, thank you I’m definitely not rushing therapy as she’s nursing fine and had gained 10 pounds since birth. Good luck at your apt
