Help near consumption problem?
My Daughter is 29 weeks old and just this week started having problems next to her eating. I started weaning her at 18 week and has always be a great eater. I have made most of her food myself though has had some jar for convenience and when out and about. We went away for the weekend to visit line and had jars of food while we were away and since returning she won't drink home made food apart from something i made with a packet of heniz cook at home sauce. She will eat her cereal and has have a jar at one meal as we were out. The other problem is that if she does take a spoonful of food she is human being sick straight away. I really don't know what to do and just wondered if anyone has any advice. If things don't obtain any better today I will phone my health visitor. I don't want to give contained by and give her a jar of food as she can't just live on that forever.
My son is now ten months ancient, and due to his large size at advice form paediatrician was weaned untimely. We have had the same problems on and off- I made adjectives his food and he was such a happy eater. Then he tried a jar when we were away and would not get through anything else but. Then he went through a phase of only eating food I have made, as long as it was cold. He once did not eat anything but yoghurt, and he now insists on have a piece of bread and butter with every meal. The point I am trying to make, is though I used to verbs myself sick over it becuase I wanted to feed him only homemade food and I required him to have a really balanced meal, sometimes they are merely plain fussy. they are trying new tastes as well as research their independence, and refusing food is a way of doing that. A condition visitor recommended to me to think about his suspended diet over a week- not a day, and you will realise that actually they do get a group. There is nothing wrong with the jars and sauces at the moment- at most minuscule it is something! Lol- I assure you, she will no doubt go back into a stage where on earth she wants your food again.
As for the sickness- my little boy had that problem and it was found out it be reflux. I am not suggesting your little girl has the same- but it may be worth checking out. Turned out the food was burning him as he brought it back up again and it put him rotten eating. he now has gaviscon surrounded by his bottles and this has really helped.

you need to thicken your foods, as she cannot hold her food down.
happened to my baby beside her milk, we had to thicken it with formula given by our doctor so she could hold it down.
Answers: Firstly, as long as she has her milk/formula every daylight, she is getting all the nutrients she needs and will be fine. So must make sure she is still getting offered that!
Next, frequent babies this age start wanting either food with more texture or else "adult" food. If she make a chewing motion with her mouth, this could especially be the case. I would try putting some chunks of soft fruit in her food or her cereal to see how she does. I also sometimes put some cherrios within my dd's food, let them sit for a few minutes, and then when they soften nurture them to her. Both those ways are great to introduce chunks. YOu can also try giving her some finger foods - she is about the right age to start that maybe, though you may need to sustain her get the food to her mouth the first few times. Again, soft ripe fruit is a great place to start, as are Gerber puffs because they dissolve in the mouth. She might be happier trying to feed herself at tiniest part of the food. Ikonw sometimes my dd refuses a spoon, and if I let her nurture herself cheerios between bites she will keep taking the pureed food. I think some finger foods are def. worth trying in this bag.
The final possibility is that she is teething - it can make their gums sore and make them fussy when feeding ore prohibit the food all together. Let her bit your finger and check for sharp edges.
Again, as long as your daughter continues to take her milk/formula, she will in reality be fine and healthy on just one jar of food a day, until this phase pass.
As i am only 13 i may not be the best individual to help you, but i have had lots of child cousins. maybe if you keep one of the empty jar and put your home-made food into it then feed it to your daughter from the jar. then she might imagine it is the jar food. if this does not work, then get a spoon of your home-made food and pretend you are taking it from a jar. if this doesn't work then put some of your home-made food and next a little bit of the jar food into the same spoon and feed it to your daughter.
