Help With 6 Month Old Who Is Now Refusing Lunch
by Tracey
I started my baby on baby rice at 4 months. Then went onto pureed vegetables such as carrots, sweet potato, parsnip and courgettes. But now he is 6 months he has started to refuse the meal but will eat yoghurts etc no problem..He will even eat small pieces of bread with cream cheese but really need for him to eat a dinner with vegetables in any advice? Baby Help Line Response: Hi Tracy! I think you son seems to be on a great schedule; no problem at all. 6 months old is a common age for babies to become more picky with they're eating, which is a reason it is often easier to start introducing solid foods slightly before that age (although only breastfeeding for six months is the general recommendation from a health perspective). First of all don't panic! Your baby is still so young that he gets the major part of his nutrition from formula, which is great. Second, a trick that I used with our youngest, who was just like your son – veeery picky – was to mix his veggies with lots of fruit puree. Then gradually as he got used to the taste I reduced the share of fruits. That made him eat at least some of the veggies I served. Some kids are picky in periods and it passes, others are picky for years. Try to be patient and continue to offer different tastes. For some more tips on how to deal with a picky baby, click here.
