Hi, I'm new to the blog, but just wanted to add something. I have noticed the odd comment about people being worried that their babies are getting enough to eat when they are refusing food. Well my son Euan is 9 months old and has been falling down the grown curves since about 5 months. We have been seeing a paediatrician about it, and I point blank asked him if it was anything to do with the fact that he has always refused anything off a spoon, is very fussy about texture, and he spits out the vast majority of what he gets into his mouth. He said, no. He was more concerned that something else (like a gluten allergy) might be causing both the poor weight gain and the lack of appetite/avoidance of certain foods. If it were a simple fact that he wasn't getting enough calories from solids, he would be dramatically increasing his demand for milk - which he hasn't done. So we can stop worrying and just let them eat if they are hungry and not eat much if they are not! I really hope its not anything to do with gluten though, as those gluten free diets look a right pain - especially as he also has a cows milk intolerence. Katy
