7.5 month old still not eating

[Rachel600]

Hi

I am beginning to panic a bit about dd2 lack of food intake. She has refused purees so I started doing baby led weaning which we did have some success with. Now she doesnt seem interested in real food at all - except breadsticks, rice cakes and she only eats a tiny bit of those. I offer her all sorts of veg, chicken strips, bread, toast, fruit, but she doesnt even want to pick them up and explore now. Last week she would eat bread but this week not a thing. She likes yoghurt so I have been giving her that as she does need something, she does look quite thin. She is on 6/7 breastfeeds a day, she wakes up alot at night. Am I panicking unnecessarily, will things improve??

I don't think there's any reason to worry yet.  Especially with BLW it often takes babies until 8 or even 9mos to feel comfortable eating.  Just keep offering and stay relaxed.  We've done BLW with DS2 and he hardly ate a thing until 8/9mos.
