Clamping mouth shut
Charlotte keeps clamping her mouth shut when trying to spoon feed her. She's having her milk as normal and is finger feeding herself. She will have some mouthfulls of food but then clamp it shut and/or blow raspberries. This has been going on for about 3-4 days now so not too long but I'm getting concerned that she wont be getting enough food.
If she wont eat her food should I just take it away and not give her anymore or should I give her something else. I don't want to be "cruel" to her but I also don't want to reward her for not eating her meals. I'm also not getting stressed when she wont eat so she doesn't pick up on it as I know that will make things worse. I know she wont starve herself, and this is maybe a natural phase but I still can't help worrying as she is a skinny minnie anyway (just over 17lb at 10 months old).
Any advice/tips greatly appreciated, thanks xx
