  Feeding problems, help please? Reply Contact My daughter is 7 months old now, but her feeding habbits have suddenly changed. At 4 1/2 months old I started introducing solids to her and she did AMAZING with them. At 6 months old her regular feeding consisted of a single jar of Gerber 2nd foods, about that much in oatmeal or rice, and 6 - 8 oz of formula. The past 2 weeks though she won't finish a full jar of baby food, ignores the rice/oatmeal and will only drink about 4-8 oz of formula. She's been doing fine otherwise, and she's not losing weight. Does anyone know why she would be doing this?

Agreed.  Go with your daughters cues until you notice she's not gaining weight or she's not having poopy or pee diapers.  I have a 2 year old and a 1 year old and there are many times where they just refuse to eat.
