He said it "wasn't working" and that we should "do it his way" (a whole other thread - which there is out there somewhere LOL) and that we should puree food for DS3 and cut out his 5.30pm bottle. Admittedly DS3 hasn't really been that interested in his food (he's just turned 8 months) but I'm not at all worried - there's a lot of him and he's not exactly wilting away with a lack of decent amount of solids in his diet
Now - I was extremely reluctant to puree anything for him, but told DH if that was what he wanted to do - then go right ahead. Anyhow, couldn't be doing with the hassle tonight of him telling me that BLW wasn't "working" so got our (very cr*p) blender out and made a 1/2 hearted effort to blend DS3's portion for him. It actually turned out looking more like I'd given it a good mix with a mixing spoon (ie still very lumpy and not really pureed at all).
DH has just coaxed/cajooled/whatever you want to call it most of it down DS3.
HOWEVER, I also cut out his 5.30pm bottle...which could have increased his appetite.
What's the betting that DH turns round later and tells me that "his way obviously works".....despite the fact that the food wasn't really pureed - and we have already been offering more "sloppy" foods with a spoon (so not "pure" BLW) and he's not been interested. AND the fact that DS3 probably had a slightly bigger appetite because he missed a bottle???
