DD is still not interested in solids. Or at least, the solids I'm offering her.
I've tried the Earth's Best cereals, their jarred food, homemade butternut squash, sweet potatoes, apples, etc. and she's just not interested. I occasionally get her to eat some food, but it's never much and never consistently.
She loves teething biscuits, but eats them such that I'm now really worried about her choking on them. (I've got the Earth's Best Wheatless teething biscuits) Our peditrian has given me permission to try some really soft finger foods. She liked the Gerber melt in her mouth wagon wheels, but wouldn't even try peas (and the mushed peas are the one food I've had some success with). She is also very interested in what is on our plates and takes a grab at that whenever possible.
She is EBF and is not showing any signs of developmental delays (she has the pincher grasp, is crawling, can use a sippy cup fine, etc). She is growing fine, she eats well, 3 5.5 oz bottles a day at day care (between 7:30-4) and then nurses at least 3x when she's with me (before daycare, right after, then right before bed). I've suddenly started having problems keeping up with her in terms of EBM production, but that's an entirely different post.
My questions are this:
How worried should I be? I find myself worrying about her iron since she's not eating the cereal much at all. I'm also worried that this is some type of development delay, but she does seem sometimes to understand about eating, and as long as I let her glide the spoon into her mouth herself, she's fine with it. But she's just not eating much at all (in terms of solids).
Since she's so interested in solids, what should I try feeding her? I've been trying all the baby "firsts" foods without much success, should I continue, or just move on? My instinct is just to move on and start with things she can control (soft finger foods), but I'm very unsure as to what to feed her.
Any advice or suggestions are very much appreciated.
TIA.
