Oh help! I've been in tears this morning because of this.
My DS has stopped being even remotely interested in food. He will happily ignore finger food whether he's in the high chair or on the floor, whether we are eating with him or not. If he sees us eating he just watches us, hands playing with each other.
If we put food in his hand he looks at it and drops it again. It might as well be concrete for all the interest he has in food. He started off a month ago with interest, mushing, playing with it in his mouth and spitting out etc, all what you expect for a beginner, but there is only regression now.
I started trying spoonfeeding purees but he is a total spoon refuser so its like force-feeding.
I feel like we are in a vicious cycle that ends up in him just breastfeeding so he doesn't starve, and then not interested in the next food because he's full?
Its ridiculous, I ended up in tears this morning because both banana on toast and mushed up weetabix were refused. he's had both before and managed ok (for a 6ish month old anyway)
I thought BLW was going to be great, but my husband doesnt trust it and now i'm starting to feel its wrong. But spoonfeeding isn't working either!
How the hell do we move forward?
