my baby drink milk less. it seems like he don't have a good appetite.

Answer
Are you nursing? If so, maybe something in your diet has changed and the taste of the milk has changed. He may not like it anymore... or it may just take him a bit to get used to. OR if it is formula he is on, he might just not need as much as he had last week/month. When he hits a growth spurt around 6 months he should pick up his appetite. Have you started him on solid foods? Try rice cereal first, and go through the list of single grains until you have ruled out allergies... Then veggies and fruits... Once he starts eating solids he won't drink as much formula. My second son started drinking water in a sippy cup around 6 months just to get a little more fluid into him during meal times. (I nursed him in between solid feedings, though) BUt, if he is happy and has wet diapers and not constipated (and his soft spot is not sunken in) he should be fine. He may change his eating habits tomorrow. Babies are all different and all want/need different things :) All the best!

Any tips for feeding a 9.5 month old solids other than baby food?

I didn't have this problem with my daughter...she ate solids right away without a problem. My son won't. I try putting stuff in his mouth for him to taste and he makes a scrunchy face and spits it out and if he does try to get it down, he gags like crazy! I was thinking of mixing mushy rice into his baby food as a start...any other thoughts/ideas. Help!
Thanks for the tips but let me just add that I've been putting food on his highchair for about 3-4 weeks now and he won't put it in his mouth. He just plays with it. I keep doing it hoping he'll eventually put it in his mouth.

Answer
carry on with the baby food if you want but add more texture...ie cooked soft vegetables cut up......give him finger foods as snacks and with his meal. place them on his tray and feed him when you eat:) grated cheese, tuna flakes, cheerios and puffs, spaghetti cut up or any pasta, can be added to his baby food or srved as a finger food. if he gets soem in his hands guide his hand to his mouth:) hell soon get the idea tell him its nums nums and make a big deal about be enthuaiastic and eat some too and show him how much your enjopying it. he will come round goodluck:)))) p.s also let him have his own spoon to practise and allow him to be messy:)

playing with his food is good:)))) its helps with eye/hand coordination and encourages the pincer grasp:)
