How do I get my babu to eat solids????
Malak is 6 months old now, so I want to start her on solids. I have tried a few times, but she screams, cries, and just spits it out! I have tried a variety of things like, carrots, sweet potatoes, peas, apples, bananas so far and she acts as if I am feeding her poison!
She is a cardiac baby, had open heart surgery at 4 days old and has had a serious bout of septic shock that kept her in hospital for 6 weeks. She then was in hospital again for a balloon angioplasty 2 months ago. So she is a bit behind in motor skills as it is because of all the hospital stays.
Because of her cardiac problems she is gaining weight slowly and cardiologist is encouraging more weight gain by feeding solids. But she will not have anything to do with them!!!! My other 2 kids (now 11 and 7) took to the spoon and solids so easy! So with Malak I am at a loss on what to do. Maybe she is just not ready?? I dont want to push her into something she isnt ready for, but she needs to gain weight and get bigger for her next upcoming surgery. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!!
