Getting my baby to eat baby food rather than nursing.?
my son is 7 months old and prefers nursing over eating baby food. He will never finish a whole jar of baby food in one sitting the jars are 4.0 ounces. He is not under weight, he is in the 97th percentile for weight but his doctor said at his age he should be eating one jar of infant meats 2.0 ounces and two jars of fruit vegetable daily. Its pretty much impossible to get him to do this. But he is always wanting to nurse. What can I do to help him transition better to nursing less and eating more solids.
When and how did you get your babies off formula/breastfed and just on baby food?
I have a 2 1 2 year old but can't remember what I did with him. I think pretty much at 12 months is when I stopped giving him formula and started giving him baby solid foods around 6 months. I give my daughter solid foods about twice a day now she's 8 months old and she starting the puffs which she does pretty good with. I just wasn't sure how and when to start getting her to drink from a cup and get her off formula. I know it's good to keep them on the formula until at least a year. When did you start using a sippy cup and when did you just do solid foods with not formula?
My 7 1/2 month old LOVES baby food a little TOO much?
I feed her about 4 ounces of baby rice cereal mixed with fruit in the late morning noon time, then i usually give her one whole 2.5 ounce jar off veggies in the evening but she always seems to want more. However, lately, WIC has been giving me the 4 ounce of baby food and when I give her those with the intention of giving her about 2 3 of a jar, she ends up eating nearly the whole thing. I try not to let her finish it completely as im not sure if thats too much for her. If it were up to her, she would easily eat the whole thing. I breast feed her as well. she's also a big girl. She weighs over 23lbs.I meant to say that she eats 2 ounces of baby food and 2 ounces of fruit for a total of 4 ounce...not 4 ounces of cereal alone.
8month old wont eat baby food?
I have a 8 months old son who hates solids, I have been trying him on baby food since he was 5 months old. I have tried from fruits to veggies. And he wont eat but 1 to 2 spoon fulls and then turns his head and starts crying and screaming. I am so worried about him getting enough to eat. He loves formula with mixed cereal and that will be all he will eat period. I have tried table food such as mashed potatoes and giving him mashed veggies I cook and have him eat at the table with us for dinner but he does the same thing as he does for baby food. Please help any advice? I am at my twits end with this

Can you freeze store bought baby food?
A friend of mine has an 8 month old baby who is teething. She wanted to freeze some of the baby food into " popsicles" so that not only will he be able to cool his gums, but also have a healthy " ice cream" . Would it be okay if she poured them into a popsicle making container? She is looking to freeze pears and peaches which are his favorites.Thanks....
10 month old refusing to eat baby food & solids..advice?
My daughter is almost 10 months old. My doctor told me to try her with solids at 8 months,I did but she didn't take them. I wasn't worried about it then because even the doctor said it might take it a few weeks for her to get used to them. I kept trying to give her solids,different things at different times,and trying to encourage her to try it. She started to eat the baby food like in the jar at 9 months but refused to eat anything else. She's a few days from being 10 months old now and she refuses all of it now,even applesauce which was like her favorite one to have. She'd eat that if she wouldn't eat any of the other ones. I'm kind of confused as to why she'd start eating it but then all of a sudden refuse it all. I'm also worried that she's not getting enough to eat. Has anybody else had this issue with their child children? What did you do? How did you make sure your baby got enough to eat throughout the day?She was formula fed.I should say she IS formula fed. I haven't changed the formula and she still gets her bottle. She has a few teeth already. I hadn't noticed anymore coming in just yet.

Other than formula and baby food, what are some other foods I can feed my 6.5 month old?
I started giving him baby food on a regular basis about a month ago. In addition to that and his formula, what else can I feed him? He cannot sit up on his own as of yet and he isn't crawling yet. He hasn't discovered that he can get on his knees yet, so he digs his head into the ground and pushes up with his head and feet.I have read several questions today about feeding babies eggs, yogurt, etc. What can I feed him as far as table foods are concerned? What did you feed YOUR baby at that age? He does not have teeth yet although I can see the two bottom teeth. They have not come in yet and it seems as if he's been teething since around three months becuase of all the drool.To the person who said they would grind up the veggie they were eating ... did you literally put them in a food processor, or did you just smash them up really good?
8 month old not interested in baby food.?
My 8 month old isn't eating any baby food, or basically anything from a spoon. He sees his older broth 2 eating and wants to eat the same things. I've given him some egg yolk, cheese, bread and rice but he still spills most of it because he doesn't quite have the dexterity. Can anyone please suggest some finger food ideas for my baby. I'm just worried he isn't taking in enough food. Thanks
At what age is Baby Food...?
no longer " just for fun" . Ive seen a lot of answers on here that state baby food is just for fun until X amount of months. I thought it was one year. I thought that a Babys main source of nutrients was from formula until one year old. So someone, please correct me.My daughter is 8 months old. She is a pro at eating solids. The question isn't really in regards to her. I just want to be a little more educated on this, I suppose Thank you Basically, I got three thumbs down for telling someone not to worry that her daughter wanted nothing to do with being spood fed solids but was eating finger food just fine . I told her not to worry about it because until a year old, her formula should be the main source of nutrients. Thumbs down usually don't matter to me but I got THREE.. but was giving honest, good, true advice..
