  • Refusing Solids

    Mama Lionby Mama Lion

    food I almost did a post about how Baby Lion was starting to eat solids really well, but I decided not to just because I didn't want to jinx it. He WAS eating stage 1/stage 2 foods 3x/day everyday for about a week and a half. I was so proud of him because once meal time rolled around I'd get his food ready and he'd just open up when I said "aaaah" and he would gobble up the whole thing (one whole jar if it was stage 1 and 1/2 a jar if it was stage 2). But then for some reason he stopped opening up for me and now when I say "ahhh":

    1. he turns his head the other way
    2. he buries his head in his arms and starts rubbing his eyes pretending he's sleepy
    3. he pretends he's watching TV when I KNOW he's not even interested in whatever's on
    4. he puts his lips together and closes it REALLY tight!
    5. he runs away (I feed him when he's in his walker. I noticed that he eats better and more when I allow him to pace himself and eat when he wants to eat instead of forcing him to sit down and eat everything all at once. So yah, I follow him around in his walker .)
    6. he's done this one time when I stood in front of his walker with his food so that he wouldn't go anywhere. I for sure thought he would open up and eat it since I THOUGHT I had trapped him. But you know what he does? He backs up a little bit in his walker and goes AROUND me .

    Is this normal?  Did your baby go through a stage of suddenly refusing solids??
