What food are you trying? At 10 month my daughter was feeding herself. Try putting a little bit of jam on some toast, not too much mind.

lesley,i have tried all sorts of foods,i cant get her to feed herself.She plays with toys just fine but if you put food or a baby spoon in her hand she drops it immedietly.im so worried.even mashed potatoes and gravey did no good ,nor did cream of wheat.Nothing.

She wont feed herself? Try putting the plate of food infront of her, and see if she'll eat with her fingers. Do it when she's sitting in her high chair while you are eating also. Do you feed her formula from a bottle or have you introduced a sippie cup? Maybe if you put her formula in a sippie cup, she'll get used to the cup, then you can try juices again. She really should be eating more than just cereal and formula. In 2 months she should be put on homogenized milk, so she should be getting less bottles and more meals at this age. At 10 mos., she should be eating cereal in the morning, then lunch and supper (including meats). Then having her bottle in between. Something like that anyways!

i did try a sippy cup and it just set there.I tried so many times and tried different cups.She wont eat cereal either.If i dont give her fomula she would starve.Iput food in front of her and also tried eating at the same time and eating the same thing i gave her,but she wont eat nothing else.

Did she ever seem interested in eating solids? Like did she ever grab food out of your hand or off your plate or stare at you guys while you were eating? Also, has she stopped thrusting her tongue out when you put food in her mouth? Can she pick up objects with her thumb and index finger (pincer grasp)? If you answered no to some of these questions, she may not be developmentally ready to eat solids. Some kids aren't until they're past a year old. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I think she will do it when she is able. It's just like some kids walk early at 7 or 8 months while other may not start late until 14 months.

She used to eat baby food when she was between 5-7mos,but then after that i cant get to eat anything besides formula.I tried earlier with jam on toast,but once again,she would'ent eat it.so i took a small peice and rubbed the jam in her mouth and like normal she made her self gag so she wouldent have to eat it.im all out of suggestions for myself,i dont know how to get her to eat.
