Hi Jenny

Just butting in on your flybabies to say that I had the same problem with DD2.5, who would not really eat solids between the ages of six months and a year.

I just wanted to say that with her, she just suddenly got it when she was a year old, she was also a very keen breast-feeder. I had a lot of health workers say to me 'Oh you must get her to eat', and as she wasn't gaining weight I panicked like anything. However, about a year ago a really experienced health visitor (don't know if you have them in the States, but they're nurses trained to advise the community on health issues) looked at her growth charts. Her comment was that DD was a big baby because she breast fed well, and then slipped down the chart because of her genetics (I was a skinny child). When it was put like that I really kicked myself for getting into such a lather about it.

So keep plugging away, because I'm sure it will get better for you like it did for me, and I'm thinking of you because it's so horrible to have a child who won't eat.
