I have started inroducing solids to DD - after overdoing it a bit at first (3 meals = five dirty nappies!) we now have one meal a day which is puree.
She cant sit unsupported yet and will be 24weeks on Saturday. On average she gets half a Hipp jar and then is quite greedy for a BF.
She can grab things and put them in her mouth but doesnt want to grab the spoon.
Today because she was wailing so much with teething I held a chunk of chilled pear to her mouth, She loved it and started sucking on it furiously, at which point I got scared she would choke and took away the last bit.
Was it the cold she liked or the pear? And can babies choke on soft fruitif they bit eoff too much? She is eating the purees but making a face, not spitting them out but not wildly enthusiastic either. The pear went down very well.
She has never slept through and if I get a chunk of three hours I'm lucky. She's quite windy and has burped and farted loads after today's carrot and potato.
DP is telling me to take it easy but its so hard!
