Ariel is already 8+months.
Mummy started solid with Ariel when she was about 6 months old because she would show her pitiful puppy look, showing her tongue and open her mouth towards our (adults) food.
Mummy started with a bit of organic rice cereal then organic millet cereal. Ariel would only take 1-2 mouth then she would close her mouth tightly. Then Mummy tried to cook little porridge with potato, Ariel did the same thing. Mummy even tried plain sweet potato and plain potato.
Ariel’s progress in solid is so different then Jeriel. Jeriel’s time, within 1-2 weeks, he was taking 2 bowls of porridge per day. By 8 months old, Jeriel had tried a variety of vegetables and fruits.
Mummy is running out of idea soon on what to cook for Ariel. Seeing other babies who are about the same age of Ariel progressing so well in their solid intake really make Mummy wonders what has went wrong. Sigh Sigh….
Mummy is not going to give up but continue be patient with Ariel solid intake progress.This can be very tiring to Mummy’s brain thinking of all possibly solutions. Most probably more tired than going through a few sessions on the treadmills.

may be Arial dun like soft food? My Jing and Yang also the same never took any porridge that cook from slow cooker. Both of themlike something texture. I just cookthe porridge or and blend for a while only. Need to make sure have texture! then only both of them will eat. Qi chamloh... and repeat menu ha!
Since she is still taking breastmilk, you shouldn't worry too much. My Anne only accept porridge when she was 9 months old.
Mixed some of your breastmilk in the porridge?? Or you can let her try cereal.
Differ kid has differ kind of taste....just be patient :).....previously, both my boys hate solid food, but, now.... :)
If she is taking her milk and growing well, you don't have to worry too much. Go slow on the solid, she will eventually take it.
Well, when I read this post of yours reminds me of my girl who is 2+ now. Food is like an enemy to her. So different from my boy. Same like Ariel, she cried, shut her mouth and arched her back during feeding time when she wass 6 months old. At the end I gave up and just supplied her milk until 8 months. But still she is very slow in eating her food.
Every child is different. Just hv to follow her cue. Keep intro new taste to her. Hopefully soon u'll find out wat she likes.
good mummy who always be patient and full of love.
same with justin refused solid also. But then as long as they are taking milk still, no rush la okay? chill babe
chanel dont worry, every child welcomes solids differently. Cant compare one to another.
I think u should try introducing new food to her and include ur BM, maybe she will accept with familiar taste? And if she doesnt want, dont force cos u wouldnt her to be scared, have a phobia of mealtimes!
maybe she is not ready coz she is a breastfed baby?
Moo mommy
I am trying a few way and see how...thanks for the tip...
beckysmum

Hazel
I think all mummies will love their own kids and try their best......we only can try our best...
Sasha
Ok Ok...chill chanel....chill chanel...
Kristie
yup...her grandmother n I take our time and didn't force her becoz we don't want her to get scare of food. We want her to enjoy food like Jeriel...
since a lot mummies tell me it is normal to some babies...I am feeling much at ease now...
wen
no wor... i know a few breastfeed babies either boy or girl, have no problem with solid...
poor Ariel...8 months still not taking solid is indeed bit slow hor...but dun give up, try giving her more taste to try to figure out what she likes, gd luck!!
Don't worry la, she's healthy and has a healthy weight. Different child takes to solid food differently but eventually they'll be OK.
as long as her weight still maintain, it shud not be a problem. a friend's baby starts solid very late too, at 9 months, still solely on bm only. same goes with my sis's daughter.
Lucas was a real fussy baby when he started solids. He didn't like cereal either but mixing it with breast milk helps. I only tried rice cereal because wheat is too heaty.
Try pureed sweet potato, banana, pumpkin or potato. Lucas loved them!
