Would appreciate any ideas on how I can improve my 10 MO diet.
10 MO is currently developmentally delayed and at around 4.5-6 month ability across the board. He is breastfed (bottle refuser, although has sips from a cup) and eats everything offered to him as long as it is off a spoon and almost smooth. He is fixated with hands in mouth, doesn't reach and mouth toys so obviously not developing his oral skills as he might for his age.
Any ideas on what I can try, his feeding is currently this;
0600 wake and breastfeed.
0630 hungry crying so breakfast, baby cereal and 50g yoghurt (petit filous mostly)
1030 ish breastfeed after morning nap
1115 lunch. Veg bake / bean based plus pudding of fruit
1430 breastfeed after lunch nap
1530 snack of yoghurt / jar of banana crumble or similar / purée fruit
1730 dinner. Meat dish plus pudding of rice pudding / crumble (pouch pudding)
1830 ready for bed and breastfeed offered - generally not that interested
Currently waking once in night (night sleeping changes often) and has one short (3 min feed).
He is skinny, now following 9 centile and I really feel he needs more calories but don't want to load him up if not the right thing to do IYKWIM. Any thoughts on this pattern and what I can do? I would love to vary diet, especially snacks etc but he just can't deal with anything other than purée at the moment.
Thank you if you're still reading and able to offer any ideas.
