Hi,
Would really appreciate some help on weaning!
I also expected before we started to wean to take the baby lead weaning approach, however my son had other ideas and hated touching food so I just spoon fed him. He is now 11.5 months and I’m trying to introduce some snacks and less milk (he currently has 3 x 210ml a day) as he is getting hungry.
I’ve managed to get him to eat couscous and the ellas kitchens melty sticks by himself but he just plays around with his meals! He puts everything in his mouth apart from food 😂 even with encouragement and me showing him what to do etc.
I cook all his food from scratch and most is still whizzed / mashed and all fruit steamed he hasn’t tried toast /bread or pasta yet - I’m probably being overly cautious but I’m terrified of him choking (I’m a children’s nurse so a first aid trained). I’m planning on introducing these foods after he turns one.
So is anyone else in a similar situation or have experience in suitable softer snacks that I can feed him? I’m worried he might not be getting enough calories.
Many thanks 😀
