I had a mom in my group whose son also refused solids. Actually, he would
take food, put it in his mouth, and spit it out in her hand an hour later.
His issue turned out to be a tongue-tie.  Mom was aware of the tongue-tie,
but in their case it didn't interfere with breastfeeding.  It very much
interfered with eating solid food.  When he had the tongue-tie fixed (I
think he was 13 or 15 months old), he happily started eating solid food.  In
the meantime he thrived quite well (he was a big kid) on breastmilk alone.

Just an idea...

Subject: 15 month old - refusing all solids, exclusively breastfed (LONG)
I have permission to post this letter from one of my LLL moms. She's really
at her wits
end and unfortunately has not found anything helpful with the doctors in our
area.
I want to stress that he is 15 months old and exclusively breastfed with NO
solids, no
sippy, cup or bottle. Mom is content with her nursing relationship but
concerned about her
son's overactive gag reflex and his development as a toddler. His weight is
fine - he's a
chubby little toddler and has always been high on the growth charts.
If you respond can you please also send me a copy to my email? We're getting
ready to
travel to the FL LLL conference and disneyworld after that - so I'll
have email access more
often than internet (on my phone).
Thanks so much!
