11 month old dosn`t eat

[tamirra]

Hi, my 11 month old grandaughter wont eat, she still hasn`t any teeth and whenever my daughter puts a dinner wether its a home made dinner or a jar, just anything that needs to go into her mouth she refuses, she is under the hospital due to being under weight, all they have said is to cut down on the milk just give her 6 oz twice a day and only after food, which dosnt help as she dosn`t eat anyway, what she does eat is wotsits she loves them but the hospital has said to stop giving them to her but that is all she does eat, had anyone any useful advice on what to do, and advice maybe from parents going through or have gone through the same stressful time. Thank you

every baby is different but i found that the powdered cow & gate food was excellent and so convenient too ! Just add water! they do some excellent flavours and havent got the same congealed taste as the jars ! My daughter would not touch the jars for love nor money!! (although i have had some mixed reviews from the chocolate pudding ) She may just like the wotsits cos she can handle them herself x maybe try some soft banana or other finger foods ! Try just putting the food down in front of her and let her pick it up and do it ! baby instincts with most things are straightin the mouth just try not to make a huge thing if she doesnt ! Its hard to give a response but i hope it helps ! I would be interested to know how you get on x Best of luck !

Hi, my daughter didnt get her first tooth until she was 15 months so looks like her daughter is taking after her, thank you to you all again. x

ALSO ! there is a range from tesco called ORGANIX and they do crisps in all different flavours without the salt or the gm rubbish thats it the commercial crisps ! much better for baby they also do sweets fruit treats covered in yougurt which taste a bit like white chocolate ! x

Yes there the crisps i have gone and bought and she does so far like them, only given her the cheese and herb ones so far tho, as for finger foods as the other lady said we have done that but she just squeeszes the guts out of it and drops on the floor, we have tried all the sugestions but dead end so far. x
