My son seals his lip when I feed him...

It's the vege smell. You allowed him to have bananas & apples too early. Once they get accustomed to the sweet stuff they are like that. Try mixing sweet stuff with his vege. We give our son peas & corn mixed together. And like I said, they love sweet stuff. His favourite is still carrots, potato & corn all mixed together. It's alright, this is just normal as it's a time where they have learnt how to refuse but we know what's good for them. Sometimes we have Mr. Cane to help out, haha!~

While introducing him to solids did you introduce the rice & veggies first? You are to introduce those first so they do not refuse to eat them. Could you try mixing them with the fruit? Sounds gross but perhaphs the right flavor combination may hit the spot. Otherwise you'll have to just keep trying to offer him something new and if he doesn't eat it give him something he likes. Hate to say it but they start being picky earlier in life than we imagine.

Hello mermaid and good morning. Maybe your son wants to start feeding himself. i went through this with my kids. Does he grab for the spoon? If he does then he does want to feed himself. It will be messy and more food will get on the outside of him than inside but when they are ready to feed themselves they won't open their mouth for you. Give him a spoon and let him goat it. He will use hiss hands more than the spoon but that is the way with babies.

I have this issue at times with my 6 month old. I keep trying, but not forcing it on him. SOme days he will take it others he just fusses... I think he just isn't hungery for it or he just really doesn't like it. I never no for sure. But I just try again in an hour or so.

I remember going through this with my son and it was only a matter of a few days. I read some of your comments and it sounds like he just started doing this. I know that variety is good but then you won't know what he likes and doesn't. I would suggest that since he just started not wanting the food that you experiment with one kind for a couple of days if after two days the baby does not like something then you change it and try something else. Switching too often you won't know if he truly does not like something or just not in the mood to eat at the moment. I see you just took him to his pedia so I would give a few days yet and try and experiment. If he continues then definitely call and ask. Only reason why I think maybe just not as hungry the one day or so is because I am sure the pedia found the baby to be healthy. Give that a try and see if it helps.

Hi, I also had that experience, what he's pedia did, she changed the vitamins and milk. then on when we'll feed him with solid he'll just eat and never choose, he ates what we offered to him. so i think try to consult his pedia of whats the best thing to do.

Like you said you can not force him. Wait til he gets very hungry then try to give him some of what he closes his lips to. He must be desiding what he likes and doesnt like. if not wait til he is a little more hungry then just give him what he likes. Or you could mix some of what he likes with the rice. Give a bite of something he likes then sneek ina bite of something he doesnt.

OMG Mermaidivy... that is the way my eldest son behaived. Just the same. He doesn´t eat too many vegetables right now. He was been treated with extra vitamins and Iron for his blood, because he had an anaemia. I would suggest you what I did with my second son (the comment is in your other post) =) Blessings!...

Try to give him mashed squash too, it's alright if he don't want to eat solid foods because baby like his age is still good for soft food or liquefy foods. mashed potato combined with his milk is right.
