hi all,

Our son is 11 months old and sice last one week he dosen' t want to have solid foods. He keeps his lips locked and turns his head away from me whenever i try to feed him. His diet is as follows.

morning cereal with fruits
luch - 2or 3 veggies with dhal
dinner - veggies with dhal.

i have tried to introduce him other varities of food to give inbetween lunch and diner like yogurt, avacado, banana, but he hates it. He dosen' t like to eat anything which ios even little bit sour.I feel like crying and am so helpless.Don' t know what to do. pls suggest me what to do.appreciate all ur suggestions

thanks in advance,

Have you tried mangoes? Kids love mangoes usually. Also try giving him kheers. suji or rice kheer.
I noticed you give your son vegs with dal 2 times, he might be bored with it. You have to keep changing their menu to keep them interested.
Try giving him mashed potatoes with milk and cheese mixed.
dalia with fruits, idli/dosa
fruit yogurt
plain cheese
rasam and rice. keep trying new things. browneyez replied. I have a 9 month old baby...and he too is a bad eater...and i know how it feels...
Take it easy with your baby..and don' t be so hard on yourself....All babies eventually eat well and they all will grow into healthy children...
Have you tried playing any of his favourite songs on TV while you feed him...That really helps with mine...I play few of his favs repeatedly and he is in a daze and doesnt realize that I' m feeding him...and finishes his food in 10-15 min...Earlier before I introduced the TV funda, it used to take hours to feed him 2 spoons of cereal...So give it a try ...
