10 Month Old Won't Eat Solids

check to see if your daughter might be teething. if her mouth hurts, sh won't want to eat. also, has she been sick at all lately, like with a runny nose? runny noses have been going around lately and if she has one she might be getting drainage to her stomach which might be making her tummy feel yucky. most likely if you just keep offering the solid food she'll start eating it again soon. good luck

she will be fine. she has her whole life ahead of her to eat. let her drink instead. i would continue to offer other foods new and old and not make a big deal about it. you might be able to slit the nipple a little and add some yogert or fuuit to her formula. good luck and god bless

My sister's daughter is the same age and was breastfed until a month ago. She is refusing food too. She'd rather just put a bottle in her mouth and drink her meals.

My son did this also, although he was always bottle fed. What I finally had to do was cut down on the bottle intake and then he got hungry for whatever I put in front of him.

I don't mean starve the child, I just mean don't fill her up with so much formula. Good luck!!!

I agree with all the other responses, but wanted to add (my daughter is just a month older than yours, we still bf am/pm and do formula in between)- my baby is immediately interested in eating something if we eat it too. Her tastes are just beginning to change- she'll like something one day, throw it on the floor the next. I've found that adding melted cheese to anything really helps! Quesadillas, with refried beans or veggies inside, with cheese are a big hit. For breakfast we'll do toast or frozen organic waffles with jam. Basically, again, if I eat it after putting some on her "plate" and go, "mmmm" she watches me intently and then eats it herself.

Just keep trying interesting finger foods...avocado, ground beef, cheese, baby crackers, Gerber Puffs, frozen peas, Kix, anything you eat cut into small peices (aside from nuts and other allergy causing foods). I would put her in the high chair for a few minutes, and if she is unhappy, take her out. Don't force her; she will take interest eventually. They also make toys that suction cup onto the tray of the high chair--maybe you could get her interested in sitting there with one of those, and the food canbe an afterthought...

I used to put the baby food in the bottle with formula and cereal. If you cut the whole a little bigger in the nipple and make sure it isn't to thick she will most likely drink it. I wouldn't worry about it though. My daughter was very picky as well. She went from eating a variety of things to eating the same things over and over again without change. In fact she is seven now and still continues this routine and refuses to eat new and different things. She is healthy and as long as she is that, I continue to let her eat peanut butter and jelly every night for supper.

There's nothing even remotely unusual about a ten-mo-old who's not ready to eat solids. It's not like she's misbehaving -- you don't have to punish her. She's not a miniature adult and she's not doing this on purpose to make you angry.

She's just a little, tiny, tiny kid who's not 100% there yet on this particular developmental stage.
