My child will not eat baby food. Actually anything I try to put in her mouth with a spoon she wants nothing to do with. I started trying to feed her when she was 3 months old with just basic rice cereal, she looked at me with cereal all over her face like I was insane. So I made the cereal thicker, nope thats not it. I tried putting other foods into the cereal, butternut squash, carrots, apple sauce, no no and no. I tried just the baby food with out the cereal, still no.
Here's where I get confused, she will eat chips, crackers, teething biscuts, apple slices, frozen sweet potato fries, she will suck the juice out of grapes. Basically anything she can hold and eat herself shes all for. But these things make me slightly nervous since she hasn't mastered swallowing because she won't eat from a spoon.
Any ideas?

My only advice is give it time. I thought Greer was never going to figure out the whole spoon thing. Just keep trying. She'll get it eventually. She can't go through life not eating from a spoon. Think of all the chocolate ice cream she'd miss out on...
I didn't really have this problem with Aiden just that he wouldn't eat enough. I agree with redstarmama just keep at it. Eventually she'll get it. Keep trying new things. Try putting the crackers in the cereal you can even try giving her the spoon herself and seeing if she'll figure it out on her own how to use it. And ask your pediatrician they always have the best advice.
