my daughter is 12 months. she was very difficult to wean and has always suffered from her bowels.(movicol x2 daily) she didnt wean untill around 7.5 months. she does not eat lumpy food and will only eat certain homemade food. she gets very upset when i place her in high chair. i have tried everything to get her to eat. as soon as she tries a food i no she likes she will eat few mouthfulls then get upset. she will go a few days without eating a good amount of food. i dont no if she is being naughty of she doen not like eating

have you tried offering her finger foods?? LO's tend to get very independant and from experience both my 2 loved the finger food stage, you can offer her soft finger foods, grated cheese, omelettes, buttered toast fingers, cooked carrot batons........

do you eat together? i have always found Izzy eats so much better when we all eat together. I have just started weaning my baby and we have been going for over a month now and she is proving very tricky but was fascinated to watch her sister eat and i now try to have them eat at the same time.

maybe if the two of you were eating together she'd be more interested, sorry if you're already doing this.

also i know my baby is a lot younger but she goes nuts if i put her in the highchair so she has her meals on my lap, maybe you could do this with your little one until she gets a bit happier eating her meals.
