DS (6.5 months) ONLY WANTS 'PROPER SOLIDS' AND NOT HIS 'SLUSH'

[MrsBigD]

I know some of you are going to hate me! I would have would I have come across this when trying to get dd to eat 3 years ago...

Here it is... ds is 6.5 months old and has been on baby solids (the slush) since 3 months old. Lately (since he's had his 2nd tooth come through) though he turns his face away if I dare offer him baby jars for 4 or even 7 month olds... he wants 'proper' food! i.e. small pieces of toast, bread, carrots, pasta, potatoes, avocado etc. You should see him when we sit down for brekkie/lunch/dinner... his eyes pop wide open and he nearly leaps out of his seat and pines! I know one is supposed to start them on solids when they show interest but his is more like an obsession

He also has about 20-30 oz of his formula milk a day. Do I need to add he's a wonderful little heffalump nicely filling out size 6-9 month clothing? Oh it's such a pleasure having a babe that eats after the struggle I had with dd!

My mum, who's visiting at the moment asked me whether 'that's normal'. I think it's not, but ds seems to cope with it alright.

I think my question now is what else can I feed him so his nutrition is balanced?
