Do you have the link to the new WHO growth chart. A quick check of their
website gave me a lot of irrelevant results. Pretty please

Thank you!

Hello, i am a concerned mother...i have been breastfeeding my baby
exclusively and he is about to turn a year old in about two weeks. the
thing is he still refuses solids. just putting a bit of applesauce or
avocado or rice on his lips makes him dry heave like he is so grossed
out that he wants to vomit. i am worried as his growth is quite slow.
he is about 69 cm (i admit we are short people in the family though).
has anyone had any similar situation?

Not to quite that extent, but my small 13 month old hardly eats solids as
well. He'll have a taste, and up to 10 teaspoons on a really good day,
but nothing like others his age. He could easily live on boob alone with
tastes of my food here and there.

On the usual charts, he's below the 3rd percentile, but on the new WHO
breastfed baby charts, he's on the 10th.

I've learnt not to worry and not to push it at all now, and it's working.
I trust that he knows what he wants/needs.

I have no other advice though, sorry!
