DD is 7 months and a week old, started weaning 4 weeks ago. She is happy sucking on most finger foods but anything that breaks off in her mouth eventually gets pushed out. She won't take anything from a spoon really. So not swallowing anything and... it's really messy! Only trying food once a day and it takes an hour (prep food, set up, feeding for 20 min, then change clothes wash her face and hands, wash up and clean high chair area).
HV said today I should be feeding her 3 times a day as she is not gaining weight as expected.
I can't spend 3 hours a day on weaning - we'll never go out! How can I keep in her same clothes after weaning? She's smallish so bibs with arms are too large. Other bibs get pulled about so food goes under and up her arms etc...
How does everyone else manage? How long does a feeding session take others?
