I agree with everyone that you have to stick with it. Nutritionally, she doesn't need to eat much. But developmentally, she needs to learn to move the food thru her mouth. Also, I read an interesting article in the American Academy of Pediatrics that says that babies need to eat solids, and learn to chew for more reasons than just nutrition. Chewing motions actually use the same muscles that babies later use for speech, and chewing warms them up for the task of talking. It's also important because if they aren't chewing by 9 months or so, they can become lazy eaters and not want to chew at all. My DD is giving me a hard time when I try to thicken her purees and oatmeal, but I'm hanging in there because I know she'll get it one of these days.
