Hi all, I have 7month old twins (born 7wks prem) who I started weaning at 6months. It’s been quite a slow process but we’ve made good progress & are now having 2 meals a day. They have porridge or some fruit for breakfast & then I have been giving various vegetables for dinner. I started with purées although tend to mash more now & they are ok with some lumps but don’t like too many. My question however is how to introduce meat, I’ve tried giving cod a few times which I shredded as small as I could & mixed it in with some mashed vegetables I know they like however they both spat out the first mouthful & refused to eat anymore. I’ve also tried chicken which again I’ve torn into tiny pieces & mixed in with vegetables but again they just gag & refuse to eat it. I don’t think it’s the flavour particularly the chicken as they’ve had the jars of chicken based dishes which they eat no problem so I think it must be the texture. Does anyone have any ideas on how to introduce meat?
I’m finding weaning so stressful!! Any help would be appreciated many thanks!
