baby not reaching development milestones .... impossible to wean!

[breakingup]

We have had all manner of problems with dd, she is 7 months and I have had to start weaning as the health visitor is giving me greif over putting it off as the food makes her issues even worse I did start at 6 months but it made her poorly so stopped but I agree we will end up with speech problems if I don't do it now.

So I am starting to wean, she cant hold her head up for long and sitting in a bumbo / walker to eat is nigh on impossible as she just falls over..

Any advice on what I should do?

Dd2 wasn't delayed, but she absolutely refused food until she was 8 months old. Big sister then fed her a chocolate button and she then took a small amount of solids after that, but wasn't keen on food until she was school aged. She was talking in sentences by 15 months.

Back in her day you were meant to wean between 4 and 6 months so the HV was in a complete state about her not eating solids. It didn't cause any problems other than the stress of trying to get anything into her mouth.

She now eats like a horse.

Well, I just wanted to come back and say thank you all for your advice,

Especially fruss I put dd into a car seat this evening to see if I can get her to eat it better and it was so much easier! She lapped it all up bless her.

Thanks all!
