Почему мой 7-месячный ребёнок отказывается от еды?

So my 7 month old won’t eat anything, my husband took him to the doctor today and I told him to ask the doctor what can be done. The doctor said the reason he’s not accepting any food is because I started at 6 months rather than 4 months.

This doesn’t make any sense to me since I started at 6 months with my first as well and I didn’t have any problems 😩.

I don’t know what to do, he refuses to eat any solids. I’m open to any advice. Please and thank you!!

Your doctor is an idiot, it’s no longer recommended to start at 4 months for a variety of reasons. How long has your LO not been wanting food and how much food was he eating prior to this? At 7 months, formula or breastmilk still should be his main source of nutrition and foods should be more play and sensory experience.

I’d just give him a bowl of purée or if you’re comfortable with baby led weaning style, safely sized foods for him to explore in his own without any pressure to eat.

Please change doctors! That is shit advice. If it makes you feel better, my son was not very interested in food until around 8 months. Before that he would just play with it and make a mess. I did baby lead weaning so I’d give just give him stuff to let him get used to new tastes and textures (bananas, avocados, sweet potatoes, steamed to soften) but food isn’t even necessary until a year! You poor mama. Just give him some time, he’s still so little.

His regular pediatrician wasn’t in so another one saw him today. But it does make me feel better. My second is so different from my first that I often feel like I’m failing him but thank you. I’m going to try this!!

oh no babe you are not failing! You’re doing great. All babies are different! Just give him some stuff to play with. He’ll inevitably put it in his mouth. But food is absolutely not necessary for nutrition until a year old and the AAP actually advises against offering anything but BM/formula until 6 months old. Just let him go at his own pace and don’t listen to that doctor at all. 💜

tomorrow morning give him a whole banana, obvs peeled. Just see what he does with it. He’ll explore the texture w his hands and then taste it, maybe throw it, etc. but just make it a game.

I always offered what we ate after 6 months he like mashed potato balls i made them little so he could pick them up and bananas but today you wouldn't know he didn't care for food till after 1 and it was until age 2 that he really wanted more food then breastfed. Each kid is different I would introduce stuff when you want but I would stress to much about it if he is growing and healthy and happy

your welcome. Brody isn't that picky either I mean he has his favorites but he will try new things still I think kids just all develop at different times and just because most are wanting solids at 6 months not all do but they will all get to the same spot and hit milestones on there own time

It took my second alittle while to get use to the texture of things, we started at 6 months. I think that info is incorrect some babies just aren’t as ready. What are things you’ve tried? Does he just spit it out?

@humblewarriormama, I’ve been trying since he turned 6 months. This is the first I’ve heard about baby led weaning so I’m gonna research it. Thank you!

@caffeinequeen., he opens his mouth but then spits it out completely. I’ve tried to give him finger foods too but once it’s in his mouth he stops and refuses to chew and ends up taking it out instead.

Neither of my kids were really interested in solids until closer to 9 months. My youngest one had a really bad gag reflex (among other problems) too so we had to work with an OT on desensitizing him. But basically play play play with the food! Expose him to as much as you can without the expectation he’ll eat a lot of it.

How is his sitting independently and what’s his support like in his high chair? Core strength plays a lot into readiness/ability to eat.

I say keep introducing him, I think he probably is just not really sure what he likes and getting use to textures sometimes it takes alittle longer for them to get use to it,even at 9 months my daugther didn’t like certain things it was a pain but once she got closer to a year it got easier.

I never understood why many pediatricians recommend that infants start solids at 4 months old when their digestive system isn’t ready to take solids yet. Yeah, some infants do “great” at 4 months old but why are parents and pediatricians starting their kids that early? Solids before the age of one is just for fun and for them to try out what they will be eating for the rest of their lives. Why not let their bodies grow like they should instead of wanting to hurry up the process? You should change pediatricians. My 1st didn’t start solids until 7 months and wasn’t ready ready till he was 8 months old. My second was the same and so was my third. There’s no need to rush their bodies. There’s a Facebook group that I’m in that’s Baby les weaning for beginners and they have tons of information on it.

Sam really didn’t express interest in solids until after 1. I always offered but he just wanted the bottle. We just kept offering and eventually he started. It just took some time

No worries. I’ve heard many times that food before one is just for fun. He will get there

Not true. Don't worry and go at his pace. Food before one is just for fun anyway.

Totally normal for them not to be interested in solids. I started mine on purees, he didn't really became interested in food until about 8 months or so, before than he would just throw the food and play with it.

That doctor ia a complete and total moron. He will get interested in it, don't worry. Just keep offering it, and a variety. He will find something that really interests him. My kiddo HATED pears because they are gritty, loved peas, green beans, and applesauce.

What in the world?? I have never heard of such nonsense! And it’s completely normal for a 7 month old to not eat solids. Nothing to worry about at all. Most babies aren’t even interested in food until 8 months. Or they will be interested one week and not the next. I would just stop offering and save yourself the stress. Wait a month and try again.

I've heard "start baby at 6 months, do baby led weaning, let baby eat from the pot..." What a shock I got when my son turned 6 months and was NOT ready to eat 😂 he was sitting up independently, could grab and hold things in his hands, but just wouldn't eat. Anything I'd put in his mouth he'd push out with his tongue 😂 he had a very present gag reflex, and he just didn't like food. He taught me that food, is an acquired taste 😳 lol. I just kept giving him stuff, he was more interested in feeling it in his hands than he was putting it in his mouth. I know that he was eating great by nine months. Give your baby time, keep giving him things to try, don't expect anything, relax, it's a learning thing for him right now, and give your baby time. You're doing everything you're supposed to!
