Have you tried finger foods? DD wouldn't eat puree, but took to finger foods
like a charm.

Alena won't eat solids. She just down-right refuses them.

Well, almost all of them. She'll eat carrots and bananas without a fuss.

However, she's been losing weight and I need to get her eating solids on a
regular basis or the doctor will have me supplement with formula to bring
her weight up.

I've tried offering solids before the breast.
I've tried mixing bananas and carrots (not at the same time) into her
other
foods
I've tried only giving her solids for a two hour period...

Nothing. Maybe a few bites.

If I give her nothing but carrots and bananas, she gets really constipated
and takes on a yellowish hue... (not yet actually, but I'm worried about
this as it has happened to my cousin's baby...)

So, mommies and daddies of the group, what should I try now?
