My son is 10 months old. Up until now he's taken to weaning really well. From 6 months we have done a mixture of spoon fed purees (moving on to textured purees) and food he can feed himself with his hands. Recently, I've noticed he is refusing the spoon a lot more, and turns his head when I try to feed him anything.
I understand that this is likely him developing independence with food and him wanting to be in control of what he eats. I tried giving him the spoon to try to feed himself but he just throws it around. He's great with picking up food from his tray such as peas, blueberries etc but anything mushy like cottage pie he doesn't attempt to pick up.
I suppose what I'm getting at is that I'm running out of ideas of what to give him that isn't mushy/needs a spoon and enough to fill him as a meal.
Anyone got any ideas? I'm starting to stress that he's not eating enough.
