This is my fourth and the other 3 all took right to it. My lil man doesnt wanna eat anything off a spoon. I may get a couple bites in....then he sticks his tongue out. We have been working on this for 4 months with no real success!!

Hi Jennifer! My littlest one barely ate any baby food until she was 11 months old. I was worried about it for a while, but she just had no interest. Then one day, I tried and she was all about it. She did jarred baby food for maybe 2 weeks and then we just went to soft table foods which she seemed to prefer.

I feel for you my daughter was the same way! She will eat any meat and fruit that we give her, but will not eat any vegetables. I found at eight months I gave up on baby food and went to any soft table foods that she could chew and she liked it much better. Try giving him the puffs to snack on, they melt in his mouth so you won't have trouble chewing it. You can cut banana's up in small bite size pieces and it is really good for him. Some times we just have to get creative.
