My 7 month old refuses solids and will only breastfeed. What can I do?

You mentioned that you have a 7 month old little boy who just likes to nurse, he's not really interested in solids at all, and he is growing well. So is this a concern, is this something you should worry about? Most babies are ready for solids at 6 months of age, and they need to meet certain signs of readiness. They need to be able to hold their own head up, have at least doubled their birth weight or weigh at least 13 pounds, and then this is the part that you're struggling with - they need to get excited about food coming their way. If you go to his face with a spoon full of food, a baby should get excited and want to try it, and then if you do put a little bit of something on their tongue, they move it to the back of their throat and swallow, instead of spitting it out. So if your son is not doing those things, then it's possible that he's not ready, but it is good to continue to encourage it, and there are a couple of things you can try if you haven't already. A lot of people think you have to start with single grain cereal when you're introducing solids, but you can actually try anything. You can try single grain cereal, like rice cereal, or you can try fruit or veggies. Maybe single grain cereal would be good in his case though, because you can mix it with breast milk, which is a taste he's familiar with. And make it thick enough to stay on the spoon, but thin enough that it's enticing to him, and if it's familiar, maybe he'll take it that way, and then that will open the door for you to feed him other solid foods. If you haven't already, try fruit. Fruit is very sweet, and most kids love it and just want to eat it up. Maybe try peas later for when he's more established on solid food. If you're trying to give your son solids and he's just not having it, try not to get frustrated. It's worth the effort, but if he's not interested, just back up and give it a second, because the last thing you want to do is turn it into a fight or a power struggle, because that's not going to help you or him. In the end, I do recommend talking with your pediatrician about it. Share your observations and concerns, and after asking you more specific questions, they'll be able to give you the best advice about it. Good luck with it, and if you have any other questions for me in the future, feel free to ask them on our Facebook page at   / intermountainmoms  , and recommend us to your friends and family too.
