Sounds like baby is giving a very clear answer about whether he is ready for
solids. :-) I have one of those. My daughter has food allergies and was
*very* clear that she did not want solids, just like this guy is. Around 11
months she began showing some interest, but she still eats much less than
the average 2-year-old. She's extremely healthy -- has been sick just twice
for less than 24 hours each time. Not anemic. Fine in every regard.
George Wootan writes about a Japanese study in which babies suspected to
have allergies had nothing but breastmilk for two years and showed no ill
effects. (He didn't include a citation, unfortunately, or I would give you
more information.)
Are the parents upset because the baby isn't interested yet?
