My baby just turned 8 months and all of a sudden is strongly refusing solids.. all she wants is breastmilk. what shall i do its been 5 days?

Be patient: Many cultures breast feed alone until far into the second year ; their infants thrive. If your baby wants to wait a while, be patient. When baby can sit in a high chair, joining the family meal can entice them to join you. Offering baby food while the rest of the family feasts may work. If baby prefers a mashed up sample of what you have, great. With planning, you can skip the baby food step.
