Not eating vege's anymore help!!

[kaydensmama2009]

My son is 7 months old now he started on solids when he was 3 months old... He use to love his veges but now he only has 1 or 2 teaspoons of veges then refuses to eat the rest.. Does anyone have any advice on why he's doing this and wether he is getting enough to eat and nutrition?? He is still happy the onyl thing is he is waking up alot earlier.. would this be affecting his sleep because hes not eating as much?? HELP PLEASE!!

Maybe he has gone off the Mushy texture? My 2nd one did... he preferred to pick up his veg and gnaw them.. so I cooked carrots, broccolli etc + favourite pasta spirals & ham in small pieces suitable to hold. This actually worked out well as my other one is 3 years older and it then saved 2 different preparations... May be worth a try??

Agree perhaps he's over the mushy texture although at 7 months milk is still the most important source of nutrition for him so as long as he's getting his milk its ok.

Milk should come first till 9 months.

when I should introduce DS to food, i am worried he may not get enough nutrition from just milk.

My 7 month old DD has just begun refusing vegies as well. She's never refused anything I've offered her before, but will only take a few teaspoons of vegies now and then clamps her lips shut. Maybe it's an age thing. I'm trying to just keep perservering as she's still breastfed so, she's not missing out on any nutrients. I might try letting her nibble as suggested and see how that goes.
