My son is now 7.5 months old and he was 3.5 kg's at birth and now weighs 8.4kgs.We started on solids at 4.5 months (advice of paed for reflux). He did really well for 1 month, he went to 3 meals a day + 4 bottles of 250ml (I think that is 9 oz) a day. Then he started to teethe and stopped eating, but he still has his milk. We left it as until 6 months milk is adequate, this is what the paed said. He is still not eating, if you try and give him food he gags and spits it out and cries. He will eat his baby biscuits and that is about it. His teeth are now through, 2 at once... How can I get him back to eating??? He has also stopped all reflux medication about 1 month ago and is doing really well being off it, still no signs of the reflux being back...
His daily routins is like this
06h45 wake up
07h00 bottle (250mls)
08h00 breakfast (try 2 table sppons of cereal) normally has maybe 1 tsp if we are lucky
08h30 Activity and Bath
09h00 Nap30 minutes
09h30 Activity
11h00 bottle (250mls, this one takes 1 hour to feed)
12h00 biscuit
13h00 Nap 1 hour
15h00 bottle (250 mls)
16h30 Dinner try fruit, jelly, veg anything really! Only 1-2 spoons
18h00 Bath
19h00 Bottle (150mls)
20h00 Bed
22h00 Dream feed (100mls)
Sleeps through to morning.
Any ideas? I have tried finger foods, semi-solid, total puree everything and he will not eat!!! He is starting to sit alone, he seems to be a late bloomer. Paed is not worried about this at all as he says little boys just like to be cuddled and hwhen they sit the cuddling stops... teehee!!
