won't eat baby food

[bbrew5]

Pogo won't eat baby food or any soft food,(oatmeal,mash,cooked pasta) he doesn't even care for fresh fruit I've tried bananas,apples, canteloupe, gapes,strawberries. I'm thinking its the texture he doesn't like. Which creates a problem if I ever have to give him meds. What can I do besides keep trying these foods?

I know it can be frustrating but just keep trying. What I do is I eat something while saying Mmmmmm Yummy! Alex is just a year old and it's only been in the last couple of months that he would eat grapes. Before that he would just chuck them on the floor. Same for bananna. Though he will only eat a small amount from the one I happen to be eatting. Sometimes I have to play keep away with food. The more I wont let him tast the more he wants it! :laugh: :silly: :side:

Have you even tried sweet potatoes?

I mash these and it always goes down a treat!

Mine dont like baby food either

How old is your grey? What food does he like?

My youngest Keeko I feel was weaned to young. He was such a fussy eater.

He has only just started to eat his meals properly and he is 7 months.

Just keep trying.

He now loves different fruits in the morning and his favourites on an evening are, mashed sweet potatoes, pulses, brown rice selection of veggies mixed in with these goes down a treat.

Lovemygreys has done some recipes on here if you find the thread, she has also done lists of what to feed your grey, these really helped me with Keeko.

They also love sugarsnap peas and pomegranate seeds.

Keep us posted and let us know how you get on.
