To not wean on single vegetables only?

[Napqueen1234]

Hello,

Am weaning DC2 and I distinctly remember with DC1 getting stressed when they didn’t take to it at all. That is until I started giving different flavours, more variety, finger food etc. DC2 now 6 months and has had veg as purée and finger food but also porridge, dippy egg with toast, eggy bread, sticks of cheese, yogurt etc. Is that ok? HV today said we really ought to start with just veg but DC2 is loving everything including veg. I’m not giving anything sweet really or biscuits etc obviously.

For those who did that what other things could I give? Either purée or finger foods I’m doing both.

Thanks!

@hellolittlebaby DD1 was the same very slow going to start now she’s 4 and eats everything and so healthily.

Thanks that’s a resounding it’s ok! You’d think by the second I’d have more confidence 🥴 I found the ‘give them what you’re having’ thing tricky with DC1 as we have a lot of spicy curries, pad Thai etc but now I’m cooking for one child will just do extra and blitz/give church. Thanks!
