I started weening my son at 5/6 months and he took to it really well - banana porridge for brekkie, home made veg purees and Ella's kitchen fruit pouches. At 7-ish months we went on to three meals a day; always a savoury followed by something fruity. He always preferred the fruit and would probably have more of it but never anything in hearty quantities (he's a big boy and loves his breast milk).
Now we're trying to introduce finger foods he's pretty much refusing everything and the usual things he likes aren't going down at all - no porridge, no more than 5 tiny spoons of veg puree, hardly any finger food but a bit more yoghurt or fruit puree. I thought that he might be getting too much breast milk so I've tried lengthening the time between milk and solids but that doesn't work, if I try to give him a little milk then stop to give him solids he's not happy either, and if I try to give him food first he won't take it either. I'm trying to give him a wide variety but nothing gets him to eat - it's like he doesn't equate feeling hungry and food like he equates feeling hungry and milk.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
