My 10-month-old won't eat solids

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Solid food refusal in 10-month-olds is quite common and usually temporary. At this age, babies are more interested in the world around them, may be teething, or are just testing independence — refusing food is one way to take control.

General guidance: Don't force it. If the baby refuses a meal, close it up and move on. Try offering the same food in a different consistency, temperature, or presentation. Letting the baby feed themselves (baby-led weaning style) reduces refusal because they feel in control.

See a pediatrician if: Weight has stopped climbing or dropped, fever/diarrhea/vomiting is present, the baby is refusing liquids too, this has gone on for 2 weeks or longer. Normal solid refusal is usually short-lived and with patience and consistency, it passes.
