I have been contacted by a colleague and have been given permission to post. Baby is just over 1 year old and has been exclusively breastfed. The problem (as told to me)is that this child will not easily accept any solid foods. She still nurses through the night. Will accept neither bottles nor 'sippy cups.' Mom does not necessarily want to wean but would like to get a bit of a break! The parents have tried many things- feeding when mom is not around, diluting cereal with breastmilk, letting the child play with the food and feed herself, they even put pureed food on mom's breast! Dad thinks it is a texture issue rather than taste. This baby is growing and meeting all appropriate milestones. The advice to wean completely has been offered but I'd hate to see this mom wean just because the child won't accept solid food! Any other suggestions?
