Could use some advice! My almost 10 month will not eat or drink anything else besides Breastmilk! His is healthy, 25 lbs, in 18 month clothing and happy! He doesn’t seem to be satisfied anymore and I have extremely fatty breast milk so I know that’s not the issue...I’ve mixed Breastmilk with foods, tried BLW, baby food, oatmeal, and rice. If I put rice in his bottle he won’t drink it lol I even tried formula mixed with breast milk (mostly Breastmilk with an oz of formula) and nope big no no for him!! I don’t know what to do even his Ped said we need to figure something out cuz he doesn’t need it right now but when he turns a year he is! Never had this issue with my oldest 😭😭

I’m a little confused. Your ped said he needs what when he turns 1? Right now all of your baby’s nutrition comes from your breast milk, food before 1 is just for fun. Once they reach 1 solids will be their main source of nutrition. Their main fluid intake should be water. If you decide to not breastfed or to use breast milk you can use cows milk but cows milk is harder for the body to break down. You can use soy, coconut or almond milk. As long as your child is eating other foods that contain the vitamin d, it’s okay.

He’s not eating anything lol he won’t take ANYTHING besides Breastmilk not even formula...so when he turns 1 how am I suppose to get him off of Breastmilk when I plan on stopping?

he is only 10 months, he has time to adjust to solids.

@sistersmainpiece, but that’s not really advice...I’m asking on how to get him to like it with options...

Also, never put anything in the bottle besides breast milk or formula. It’s a choking hazard and rice is an empty calorie with no nutritional value. Your baby still has months to get the hang of food. Introduce something to him and continue to offer it for about a week before you introduce something new. It’s okay if he isn’t interested in solids right now.

@flamingomom, the state? And probably the education he has and how amazing he is lol I did a crap ton of research for peds...kinda like I do for my OBs...so I literally take an hour and a half drive for my kids 😅 he’s amazing! I love him! It’s so hard to trust anyone else with my kids when you have such an amazing doctor lol like my OB is retiring and I have to find a new one and I was so upset!

The American Academy of Pediatrics: The addition of cereal to a baby's bottle derails this mechanism and teaches him to overeat. The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend adding baby cereal directly to a baby's bottle because it can lead to excessive weight gain. Your pediatrician isn’t a nutritionist and he isn’t updated clearly. But as I stated, you keep offering your baby solids, he has a few months to get the hang of them.

I had some trouble with my daughter I just kept offering and eventually she started to try things, what things have you tried in baby food and BLW?

We have he doesn’t do well with it yet he keeps choking...like literally choking on it 🙄😂 and it’s small pieces where he shouldn’t even be able to choke on it but he does 🤦🏼♀️ we can’t even get him to take formula and my biggest concern is that he will be getting whole milk instead of breast milk when he turns 12 months because I plan on stopping pumping (I EP) and he doesn’t take anything at all...so I don’t know how to get him to take anything new when he would rather starve then take something! Like I mixed 1 oz of formula with 6 oz of Breastmilk...6 oz of Breastmilk wasted because he wouldn’t drink it at all!! 😭

oh no 😩 have you tried just the jar baby food? Maybe start with stage 1 until he gets use to the textures. The formula I don’t know I didn’t get to breastfeed but my sister did the same thing you did and eventually got them to take the formula but all my nephews hated it at first so thats tough!
