Still has no teeth but still won't let me put pureed food in her mouth and she can't put it in herself (and doesn't want to). She wants to eat food she can hold and put in her own mouth.
I'm having a hard time and I don't want her to drop weight. Any more suggestions (I know I asked before) would be great. At this point, I have had to stop the wonderful homemade pureed food I was making her (organic veggies and chicken of course) and I'm feeding her things that ghastly!!

my wife listened to our Ped and took our oldest off sole brest milk at 4 months to begin to introduce solids. the kid lost weight and stayed bony to the point where once at an emergency room (out of town bad cold) the attending asked "why are you starving your baby?" then he told us to have her checked for CF. turns out most babies get fat from milk fat for the first year so make sure you don't scrimp on milk or formula to give her all this other solid food. maybe that'll help. once we realized milk fat was how babies get fat and that solids are secondary, our kid did ok.
