Is the baby happy and content without solids? I nursed my son until.. ok after 2 but before 3
But, he was eating chili by 8 months! We had to start solids way to early due to medical issues with me. He refused a bottle, a dropper anything. So he got babyfood early so he could eat something while I was in surgery/ recovery.
Thinking of the 8 month old at my house... he eats! I just can't wrap my brain around an almost one year old not picking up vegies off the tray and eating them. Such good fine motor skill. By one, it is usually what they can shove in their own mouth around here. Is he not trying to get a hold of food that he sees you and his parents eating?? How many bottles is he taking in a day?
But, back to your question. I would think it would take a doctor's note, but, it could be looked at as your offering the food (have it available for inspection) but the parents are refusing it... maybe. I don't know.
