Hello all…

My 8 mo old son has zero interest in solids.  For the last 2 months we've offered rice cereal, pureed foods of all kinds, and some mushy solids like bananas.  He doesn't like the texture of the mushy things he can hold, and it's a good day when I can get a couple of teaspoons of baby food in his mouth.

I don't want him to associate negative feelings with eating, so I only try to feed him once a day in the mornings.  I've heard other mothers tell me some of their kids didn't like to eat solids until about 10 mo +, but my questions is this:

My son is now crawling and pulling himself into standing position quite easily.  Does all this activity and only drinking my milk contribute to sleep issues? I think he's getting enough calories, but there's no way I can aim for "Goal for Day" for 8 mo olds in the "Mastering Naps and Schedules" manual.

Thoughts?

THANKS!
