He can stand up without being held? I'll bet he is walking before he's a year old!

yeah, if we stand him - but my hands are around him but 1cm from him at all times. He can do a couple of seconds before his knees give way and he sits involuntarily

he has decided that food is poison, though. Unless it's his milk he doesn't want it.​

Wyatt most definitely does NOT have that problem. I fed him his dinner (oatmeal and squash baby food) tonight at 6, gave him his bottle at 7, and sat down to eat my dinner (shepherd's pie) at 7:30. He DEMANDED that I give him some of what I had...so he ate a bunch of mashed potatoes too.

how'd you do that? I want to teach my son to eat food, but he resists

Wyatt would spit out everything I tried until about 2 weeks ago, when he suddenly decided it wasn't that bad. Now he eats everything.

it's so disheartening when one day he'll eat something but another he won't.

Just stick with it. I'm sure he'll pick it up eventually.

thanks. Today he sort of ate some cereal - well, he got most of it down himself and his dad

 

[ebwy2]

he eats.. well, shreds ricecakes now

Wyatt eats pretty much anything I dish out. He wasn't a huge fan of peaches (I think b/c they're tart), but he got use to them. I let him try my stew last night (venison & rice) and he made a horrible face!

Ethan is starting on the 3rd foods now. Today he had some oatmeal with apples and raisins. He seemed to really enjoy it and because he had to "chew" the chunks a little I wasn't having to shovel it into his mouth at lightning speed like I normally do.
