Just realised this may be a better place to post
My ds is just starting to taste a few things, not much, so I went to look at the baby food section in boots and it seems EVERYTHING had milk in. Even baby rice. All bloody advertised their added milk. I wasn't planning to only feed him 'baby food' but I hoped to use it sometimes for ease of use.
Has anyone else weaning an allergic baby? Were there any favourite first foods? I'm a little worried about getting enough fat into him in the future (he's already above the 98th centile for length and at the 2nd for weight and still slowly dropping, he's lost weight 3 weeks running).
He's had a few teaspoons of potato and carrot mash but I've stopped for now as he's gone off it. Initially he demanded the spoon, loved the game of chewing but sadly it now showing signs of being adverse to it. He hides his face, turns away and clamps his mouth shut instead of leaning forward with his mouth open as before. I don't want to force the issue so I've stopped as soon as he stopped. DH gave him one spoon when I was out and vomited in protest. He has refused to eat properly since acid reflux problems after birth and pain from allergy. He can eat as little as 12oz a day but occasionally eats over 20. He's nearly 6 months.
