Weaning Difficulties: When Your Baby Refuses Solids or Gags on Food
You thought introducing food would be exciting: messy smiles, little hands exploring, family mealtimes coming together.
But instead, every day feels harder:
-
Your baby gags, coughs, or pushes food straight back out.
-
They're happy enough but they will not chew anything.
-
They clamp their mouth shut or turn their head the moment a spoon or food appears.
-
Your toddler refuses everything you put in front of them.
-
Mealtimes end in tears, stress, or nothing eaten at all.
-
You feel the pressure building with each feed, the calories aren’t adding up, variety isn’t increasing, and you can’t shake the worry that something deeper is going on.
This isn’t just “fussiness.” When weaning stalls, it’s often a sign your baby needs more than tips or new recipes, they need someone to interpret why feeding feels so difficult and guide you through what to do next.
Why this matters
Feeding difficulties don’t stay still. A baby who refuses purées today often becomes a toddler with a shrinking list of accepted foods tomorrow. The earlier we find the root cause; whether it’s sensory, oral motor, or emotional the quicker we can rebuild progress before entrenched difficult patterns take hold.
The Feeding Breakthrough Package
In only 3 months, see your baby eating carrot sticks & cucumber like their life depends on it, and feel the shift from dread to relief that you're now raising a confident eater.
If your baby is gagging, clamping their mouth shut, pushing food away, or only accepting a handful of foods, then we need to work on this now.
Every day you wait, the cycle sets in deeper, mealtimes marked by refusal, anxiety building with every calorie or bite missed, the weight of wondering what’s going in (if anything at all).
That’s why I created the Feeding Breakthrough Package. Because feeding challenges at the weaning stage aren’t about “picky phases” or getting more recipes. If you only meet it there, the transformation won’t hold.
It’s about what your baby feels in their body, their readiness, their safety, and their trust. When you finally understand what’s driving the difficulty, everything changes. This is where you get the insight, depth, and step-by-step coaching you deserve to move out of the cycle of clamped mouths, food thrown on the floor, and constant second-guessing, and into a place where feeding feels calm, safe, and sustainable.
For 3 months, I’m with you intensively to:
-
Uncover the real reason your baby is resisting food and stop the spiral.
-
Guide you meal by meal so you know exactly how to introduce foods and textures, and what to do in the moment.
-
Rebuild feeding foundations until meals go from chaotic and stressful to calm, safe, and steady.
This is where families tell me the weight lifts. Where the dread eases because their child finally accepts more than two or three foods. Where they finally breathe because feeding no longer controls their whole day.
