we started weaning early due to reflux and my son's been quite an adventurous eater. been offering him finger foods (pasta, bread, french beans, carrots) whilst I spoon feed him for a while now. he loves it!
but all of a sudden, he refused me spoon-feeding him, he just wants to do it all himself! our 10minute supper stretches to 1hour. and after sleeping through the night before (we have also been starting sleep training), last night he wakes up every 3 hours demanding milk.
he can put food into his mouth, most of it goes back out again. he lets go of the food onto the floor if he can't bite it (only 2 bottom teeth so far). i have a mini-mountain of chewed on food on his lap and on the floor.
I am planning to take away his finger food for a while and then will try offering him finger food only after I spoon feed him
Anybody had the same issues? any more ideas please in case none of my plan works?
