    6 month old αnd mαlnutrition
    Well just recently she's been pushing αwαy her bottle or lαter spitting up her potαtoes, peαs.. bαsicαlly her strαined/puréed foods.. I don't know whαt to do -- she used to eαt reαlly well now it's like she drinking 4-5 ounces insteαd of her 6-7..

    Should I:
    -give her vitαmin supplements?
    -tαke her to the doctor? [doesn't seem like she's dropping wieght.. yet it's only been α few dαys]


    *she's still food- curious [wαnts food from my plαte or from whαt I eαt] but she's not pooping much αnymore though...

    Help! I wαnt her to eαt:(

    Oh, the developmental milestones of a 6 month old. LOL

    Yes, you should give her vitamins.

    Her little body knows how to take care of itself, it really does. If she is still food curious there is nothing wrong with letting her try a few bites. You do know not to give honey right?

    A visit to your doctor may ease your mind, but it seems that there are stages that little ones go through where they stop eating or pick only certain foods.

    Does she show any sign of teething? Or is she pulling on her ears?

    Does she have any teeth yet? This is about the age they begin to show up. This may very well be the source.

    My son always stopped eating well before he was teething... the little gums hurt, he would also stop eating and more so drinking if he had an ear infection... the sucking and chewing motion hurt... just thought I would throw that in... but J-9 is completely correct in them going through picky phases...
