My baby is now 6 months and 3 weeks old. I breastfeed her from her first day of life without adding formula. When she was about 6 months, I started giving her "solid" food. She tried rice cereal, spinach, pumpkin, banana, papaya, pear and sweet potato, in form of puree. In the beginning she was quite positive towards having solid food, but recently she just refuse to eat. She struggled on her highchair....and everytime, I held and comforted her, she wanna to be nursed. The situation was not turning good after I nursed her. She just ended up having 2-3 teaspoon food.
I have the following question:
1. Is 2-3 teaspoons food enough for her? I heard many babies eating a whole bowl of food around her age.
2. I don't wanna force her to eat, if she cried or refuse to eat, I just eat all the food by myself...and won't let her to eat the remaining food later..as I hope her to develop a right attitude towards eating. Am I correct?
3. I found grandma or my husband can often feed her more efficiently, this made me feeling failure. Is breastfeeding baby has the similar problem too? How to solve this problem?
