My 7 month old baby wont eat savoury - any ideas why???

[amyandjack]

Hi,

Started weaning Jack at 41/2 months - he loved carrot, baby rice and ate a alot of savoury early on. For the past 1 1/2 months he does not like savoury! He will eat fruit and yoghurts but hates my food and the jars?

Anybody got any ideas? or any recipes??

Thanks x

I think it's perfectly normal for them to go through changes in what they eat. What is loved one day may not be the next. I'd try mixing sweet and savoury together. Pear and apple go great with many veg and are good to sweetner them up. Sweetpotato is a good sweet veg. Does he like fingerfoods at all ? Maybe try him on some savoury items that way.

yep maybe he wants some finger type foods, bread soldiers/ toast/ rice crackers/ those goodies snacks for babies, bread sticks, cheese chunks, homemade chips, pasta shapes with grated cheese. hope this helps, good luck its tough going.
