DS won't eat baby food anymore
He is 8 months and for the last 3 days won't eat any baby food..he clamps his mouth shut..I"ve read about spoon strike but I dont if thats it. He drinks his bottle and eats people food, grapes, cheese, crackers, cheerios but refuses baby food. What other foods can I give him? I'm going to try yobaby yogurt tomorrow.

Re: DS won't eat baby food anymore
DS is doing this also!! Refuses to eat all the baby food he previously loved
I read that it has to do more with them wanting to feed themselves...hence the cheerios, puffs, pieces of cheese etc
Yesterday I mixed the cheeries in his apple/bananas babyfood so when he picked it up he would also put babyfood in his mouth

Re: DS won't eat baby food anymore
OH Jen that is a GREAT idea..Yeah I wonder if that is it..he started refusing them the day after we gave him cheerios for the first time. I just want to make sure he is eating enough. He is also getting a top tooth. I wonder if that could be it!!

Re: DS won't eat baby food anymore
Could definitely be a combo of both the tooth coming in (sensitive mouth) and wanting to exert some independence. Maybe give him more options for self-feeding and then every so often try the baby food to see if he'll take it.

You can give some of the meats (I would use a food mill), cheese, veggies (steam or cook until soft and cut down), pasta.

Re: DS won't eat baby food anymore
We went through the SAME thing at 8 months. Now it's VERY rare I can get her to eat off the spoon...only breakfast.
I just kept making the same food I was pureeing (sp?) for her but giving it to her in soft chunks so she could feed herself...and have been doing it that way ever since.
She now eats peas (LOVES to pick them up), avocado, banana, corn, cheerios, pasta, sweet potato and carrot chunks, butternut squash chunks...
I haven't gone the meat route yet.
