After reading a lot of the posts and talking to some other Moms, I feel like I've waited too long. We kept waiting for Thomas to show interest in our food and in the meantime have been shoveling baby food into him like there is no tomorrow. Periodically we would get him to try some table food. He has actually been eating chicken and hamburger (plus the usual crackers/cookies) for several months. He has just never really wanted to try anything else (fruit or veggies.) Just this morning I felt like celebrating when he actually ate a waffle and a few small pieces of apple.
When he has had enough to eat during the day, he does sleep through he night. Unfortunately he got sick last week and it really affected his eating habits. He has been waking up twice a night for a bottle since he got sick. He's been better for several days now but I just can't seem to get him to eat enough. I'd like to get him to just eat table food but he won't make the transition.
For lunch today I offered him some tuna salad (what Mommy was eating and that he even ate a few bites of a couple of days ago), apple pieces and halved blueberries but he didn't want any of it. I then offered him some of his usual baby food which he refused. Most of the time we can get him to eat the baby food if we distract him with some interesting toy. But, I'm tired of this. He should be able to eat if he is hungry without the dance and show. Just now I had to give him a bottle so he could nap because he was starting to cry from hunger. I just can't keep this up. Help!
