Is it normal for my 9 month old to not want baby food?







Everytime i go to the doctors my mom and her husband watch my daughter. And recenlty i have discovered that she does not want baby food, they have given her fish, chicken...our kind of food. is it normal? can she handle it? since she doesnt want to eat baby foods now that she is used to table foods, should i continue on it with her myself? im afraid it might be bad for her or is it just me because this is my first child? and she seems so "greedy" everytime i turn around she is reaching for food or just wants it because someone else has it..But she has eaten a full meal and has had juice and such and im pretty sure she is full....what is wrong with her??? im aggitated and i dont know what to do help?!?
Now my mom is parent of 3 kids and she says its perfectly okay?!? and me being so ansy with having my first child and not knowing what the heck to do, i listen to her....but i will def. call the doctor and ask questions too.



Answer
Yep, it is normal.
Actuallly a baby can surrive on breast milk or formula the first year. Some babies take to food quickly, others don't.
My boys were finikie about what they ate. I used to joke and say that my daughter would eat a bowl of nails if I put it in front of her. (just joke) But, she liked everything, It was very easy to find foods she could and would eat. My boys would of been on the bottle until high school if they could.

Also the amount of teeth determins what a baby eats. Some babies don't get teeth until they are a year old. Others start at three months.

It sounds like your baby enjoys big people food. I would be cautious of how much she gets and keep her from highly spiced of odd foods. Remember you can't give a baby honey the first year of life.

If your baby is alright after eating at your parents , then she can handle it. Still remember she is only 9 months old.
Be sure you are watering down the juice she is drinking.

She sounds like a good healthy baby. Enjoy her. Also, you are the mother not your parents. , so if you don't like them feeding her table food or certian foods then you tell them so.
You are the mom now.

9 month old now is refusing to eat solid food?




Beagle bab


My daughter just turned 9 months old yesterday, for about a weeks or so she has been refusing to eat baby food. She started solids around 4 months old and was doing fine with eating baby food/cereal 2 x a day up until about a little over a week ago, when I put her in her highchair she pushes against the tray and he face gets red like she is trying to poop and she just wont eat, I tried giving her a spoon of her own and singing to her nothing seems to help. Any suggestions? She is seeing her doc in a couple days for a well visit


Answer
all babies will go through a stubborn time. its ok. try giving your baby some real food, like mashed potatoes. something with more flavor. or buy some graduates food, they have really healthy baby yogurt..it may help

Food ideas for 9 month old?




lovin' my


My baby is almost 9 months old and is refusing baby food and is only drinking like 15-20 oz of milk a day. He doesn't have any teeth, so I'm looking for some ideas on what he could be eating. He eats the gerber graduates stuff like puffs, yogurt melts, biter biscuits. He also likes Club crackers and toast. We've tried mashing up green beans, peas etc. But he's not really into those either--he'll take a spoonful and then turn away and cry/whine and hide his face into the side of the high-chair. We've also tried the baby food that has meat in it so he gets some protein, but he TOTALLY refused and threw a fit about the 3 different kinds we tried. I know all they need is breastmilk/formula for the first year, but he's not really interested in that either. It seems that he just wants to eat all by himself--toast, crackers, puffs anything he can pick up himself. I tried doing that with cooked green beans, but it didn't work either, unfortunately! We have his 9 month appt May 1st, so I can ask my doc then...he's always been in the 75th or higher percentile in height and weight. I'm just looking for more ideas on food that is ok for him to be eating being he has no teeth. Also, if anyone knows the healthiest kind of bread for a baby, that would be appreciated as well! Thanks!

Heres the thing...even when they have teeth they don't actually use them to chew their food. They use their gums where they will adventually get molars (my son is getting his now at 14 months). So don't be afraid to try new things, teeth are not a requirement. My son has been eating what we eat ever sense he was about 8 months. The trick is to get the peices small enough depending on what it is. For example...when he was nine months old bread can be broken up to the size of a quarter but steak i had to SHREAD smaller than shreaded cheese so that if it was too tuff for him to chew with his gums he could still swallow it without choking. So explore away!!!

Here are a few things to be careful with though...
HOT DOGS....a lot of babies choke on hot dogs (we started those at 11 months)
Chips....I still don't give my son chips and he is 14 months now
Hard uncooked veggies.. like carrots (he still does not get these either)
Stringy fruits... like oranges

as for ideas this is our usual..
Bananas and cherios or frenchtoast/waffles (no syrup) or muffins for breakfast
apple and chicken or pb and j or grilled chese for lunch
and what ever i make for my husband and i is what he usually gets for dinner.
But keep in mind that my little man is 14 months and doctors say that untill a year old their main sorce of nutrition should be their bottle. At that age my doc said to make sure that i got at least 18-24 ouces in him per day and that anything on top of that should be solids.

Hope this helped.

Oh, and i get Wonder Kids made by Wonder Bread, it has more nutrients in it and he loves it!!!!
