thankyou. durba replied. Hi there,
My 18 month old daughter did exactly the same thing when she was around 7-8 months old. She wud scream and howl if she saw a spoon approaching her mouth. So we had to stop all solids and gave her bottle only. Not that she used to have more milk intake. Howvere what I did was to make a porridge of nachni in the morning and with everry milk feed, I mixed some porridge with the milk , so that it became a bit heavy but also at the same time wud go thru the nipple hole of the bottle. Further I used to make some light veggie soups and feed her in bottle even tho every one says its bad. This went for a couple of month. Oh yes thankfully she still did not hate bananas at that period, so in the evenings I gave her mashed bananas too.
This phase continued for 2-3 months after which she very slowly picked up eating of solids again.
I am sure same thing will happen for your son. So do not panic ( altho I know how difficult it is NOT to panic).
