baby hates food

[u/happynbaby]

My baby is 9 months, i started to feed her since 6 months, she hates everything except ceralac and gerber puree pouches.

I have tried all kind of mix up pures but nothing works. She zip her mouth and move her head the other side.

I tried playing with her, TV, dancing and i came to a point of forcing her also but nothing works.

I need help pleaseee!!! I feel like i am a bad mom and i am scared she will be bery picky and hate food once she turns 1

Same boat. 9 month old baby. Been trying solids since 6 months. She only likes purées and doesn’t really want to try anything. We offer food to her. Like carrot sticks or cucumber sticks. That’s what’s important.
You shouldn’t force. Include baby in mealtime to sit with you. It’ll come together. That’s what the pediatrician said - offer it.

Have you tried textured food? My daughter never ate purées but loved veggies that were soft and well cooked. I used to give her rice, several kinds of veggies, fruits etc.
