Stop her from breastfeeding completely. My son was exactly like that as a baby. He would reject all foods except breast milk which hardly sustained him at that age. I had to stop him from breastfeeding as he was approaching 11 months old before he started eating. That's one of the disadvantages of doing exclusive breastfeeding, it makes some babies reject other foods.

She will eat with time, some babies are like that just introduce the foods little by little. Try placing some finger foods around her she will pick some from the plate and might end up in her mouth. Or try letting grandma feed her if shes around sometimes kids collect food from elderly ones around.

One bite here one bite there.


Shes cute.

thanks.

Pls don't stop her,the weather is terrible right now and she needs the warmth from the milk.

You can't force her,just gradually introduce particularly the ones she expressed interest.

If she isn't interested in cereals,try our home foods.
Food like blended okra soup/fresh fish and swallow, boiled Irish/sweet potatoes, boiled eggs,moi moi etc.She will definitely develop interest.

To the first commenter,it is hearsay that will make Ppl say Ebf makes babies choosy or mothers add weight postpartum. The benefits cannot be quantified.

I have successfully Ebfed my two sons for almost 7 mtgs and they eat very much. in fact,they rapidly move t to adult foods instead of baby cereals.

Double post

Try various foods, she must like something. She's big enough for weaning. Let her wear warm clothes for the season and let weaning be a gradual process, hopefully before one, she'll be a good eater

Am in this same situation now,my daughter is like this.Am really tired.
