What to Do When Your Baby Won't Eat
Episode 73
Monday, 24 November, 2025
#73: It is hard not to panic when your baby shows no interest in food. They ignore what you offer, barely taste anything, and you start worrying about nutrition, iron, and whether something might be wrong. This slow start is one of the most stressful parts of offering solid foods. The good news is that most babies take time to learn how to eat, and early disinterest is usually completely normal. In this episode, I explain why many babies ignore food at first, how to support them during this learning phase, what to avoid, and when it might be helpful to get extra guidance. Listen to this episode to learn: 1. Why it is normal for babies to ignore food at first and why you can stop worrying about how much they eat 2. When most babies start eating more and what to do if your baby is not showing that progress yet. 3. How to set up calm, consistent practice so your baby builds the skills they need to become a confident self-feeder.
