I think I made a bit of a song and dance about weaning DD, so with DS just want to make it as easy as possible. I've just been giving him some fruit or vegetables as finger foods when I sit down with DD for a meal. Then for one meal of the day, usually dinner, I purée up a bit of what DD's having and give him that on a spoon (although there's no nice clean spoon feeding to be had - he just grabs the spoon and smears it all over his face!)
He gags lots (which I know is normal) and most of it gets spat out, so I don't think he's eating much, but he seems to be enjoying the new entertainment, as long as I keep it short.
If we go out, I've not been giving him any food - he just has breast feeds as normal.
It all feels a bit haphazard and there's no structure to it. Is this ok? Other people are checking off lists of "first tastes" and using baby rice, whereas I seem to just look in panic in the fridge at what I can chuck his way to keep him occupied for a bit.....
If you weaned a bit like this, how quickly did you get on to 3 regular meals a day and thinking about giving them a balanced diet?
