Why is my 8 month old suddenly unwilling to eat from a spoon during feedings?

Question

She's been doing fine the past few months, then all of the sudden for the past two weeks she gets hysterical when I put her in her highchair and try to feed her baby food. She's fine if I make her a bottle, but then she doesn't want the baby food. It doesn't matter what I give her either it could be anything from fruit to mixed veggies, she still throws a kicking, screaming fit. I dont know what to do because I know she's not suppose to have just a bottle anymore. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Well my brother was on table food by the time he was that old. Maybe try some of that. Just make sure its not hot and is cut very small.

Answer 2

My guess is a) she's teething and the food hurts her gums or b) she wants to do it herself.

Answer 3

Is she teething?
