I began spoon feeding a bit of puréed sweet potato once a day to my six month + one week old, who promptly spat it all back out, as you'd probably expect.
Three weeks later and I am now giving him three meals a day, porridge, avocado for lunch and sweet potato for dinner - and relatively big bowls, about 20 little baby spoonfuls each, probably three ice cubes worth then topped up with water.
At the end of each bowl he looks at me incredulously and howls until I breastfeed him, at the end of which he looks at me incredulously again and tries to relatch himself while I fight him off. He has started waking for three feeds a night again, having gone through the night for the previous month.
Every cue he gives me says that he is hungry, even though I must be feeding him three, four, five times as much food as he was getting even a week ago. Does this sound right???
