I've been weaning Lo since 17 wo (due to reflux).  I had just started textured food and finger food but since Saturday she has been refusing solids which also coincides with viral infection/cold/sore throat.  Any ideas on what I can try her with?

Sorry I missed your post. Bumping for you :)

I would say though, if she's unwell she probably just doesn't feel like eating - is she still taking her milk? That's the main thing and I imagine she'll pick back up on the solids when she's feeling better.

I agree with the PP.  I wouldn't worry too much.  As solids aren't a huge part of their diet at this age, I'd offer but just take it away if she's not interested.
Here's my blog which is focussed on simple food for babies, toddlers and families http://mamacook.blogspot.com/
