Hi,
Just been to health visitor today, lo has lost little bit of weight but still ok.
I have been using Annabel Karmel to create lots of varied fruit and veggie purees. For each meal I've been giving lo some fruit or veggie finger food in strips then I give her purée. She wakes every couple of hours in the night for a feed. Health visitor said she needs more now and that I need to give her what we're having.
I just tried this and I had a cheese sandwich for lunch with salad so it felt a bit weird but I gave lo a cheese sandwich. She loved playing with it mashing it up, putting it in her hair etc. but if don't think she consumed much. So I am worried about how this will work? I'm having pie later so do I just give her a slice of pie? It all seems a bit strange, esp as she has no teeth!
I'm also worried about sugar. Just been to supermarket and literally everything seems to have the stuff in! Are there any good baby ranges or yoghurts with less or no sugar in?
My lo is just over 6 months old, is very interested in food, hasn't refused any fruit or veggies yet.
I'm just not convinced about giving her the same as us. I'm worried she won't be able to eat, get fed up with it then go hungry. I've heard I shouldn't feed her and she should do it herself but it's hard not to feed her when I see so little going in her mouth!
Also how much whole milk etc should I give I've just given her some cheese which she looked bemused with when it melted in her mouth before spitting it out. Also with yoghurt I'm never sure if she's hungry for yoghurt or chewing on spoon as she's teething at the mo.
Sorry for panicky message, I'm just a bit overwhelmed and don't know what to do.......
