I have an 8 month old girl who has decided not to eat baby food. At 5 months she starting eating cereal with no problem then went on to vegetables. However, by 7 months she began to reject all baby food and anything else I tried to feed her on a spoon. She would shake her head and scream whenever I tried. I thought maybe she just wanted to feed herself, so I gave the spoon to her, but she wasn’t coordinated enough to get the food to her mouth. I even let her use her fingers, but she wasn’t interested in the baby food by 8 months. So now she eats table food, about 2 months early by most standards. She likes mac and cheese and bread, and I do my best to get all the fruits and veggies in her that I can. Also, she refuses to sit in her high chair, she sits in a booster seat just like big brothers, and she rips off every bib I put on her. I think she’s going to be a tough one.
