babies resisting food

The past couple of nights B has totally been resisting his supper (and a little bit at lunch too). He clamps his mouth shut and won't open. He normally gets a bottle after supper before bed but the past couple of nights only eats 2-3 of the 7oz. Is this fairly normal for a 9 month old? We have a routine pedi appointment tomorrow so I plan on asking then but thought I would see if any of you have gone through anything similar.

Re: babies resisting food

  • I know I commented on FB, but kids usually boycott eating while they are teething.  Has he ever had issues with reflux?  Not eating was a sign we needed to up Natalie's reflux meds.

  • 9mths is about the age El started weaning herself off of bottles. He could be doing the same thing.
  • What is he eating?  Purees?  Finger foods? 

    If you're only doing purees, I would try giving him some food to eat on his own.

    Otherwise, it's probably teething or it's just a phase.  Cameron has days where he's totally not interested in bottles, but will eat real food like it's his job.  Other days, he does both well or doesn't want anything to do with food.  Even today Ally text me and said he wasn't interested in lunch.  I'm wondering if he's getting another tooth as he only has 1 so far.  

    I would wait it out and not force the issue.  Good luck!
