Help with feeding our seven month old please

[StevenLeia]

I have been weaning my just 7 month old son since he was 5months old. It was going great as he ate different veg etc but i think i went wrong by giving him a fruit pot at lunch as now he is refusing savoury food only accepting his usual milk or fruit or yogurt. Ill explain his routine then if any one spots where im going wrong advice is much needed. 6am Milk ,9am baby fruit cereal, 12am fruit pot and milk, 4pm tin of baby food or homemade veg and milk (now only wants his milk but will eat fruit or yoghurt). Also do you think i should swap milk to follow on milk? has cow & gate premium 1

By the way how old is your dd, its really good her eating everything with her hands.
I think i'll give my ds a chunk of banana to see what he does as its so far the only thing he'll eat with lumps in as he loves it. (i suppose it slides down quite well as its quite wet). This will be good for me too to have more fresh fruit and veg.

She's now 8.5 months old and we started weaning at 6 months. I have found that just eating in front of her makes her want what I have, so I pretend she can't have any until she wants it more and then I 'reluctantly' pull a bit off for her and pass it on and then study my food intently and chew very obviously and hey presto, down the gullet it goes. They are so gullible. Love it!

Though these days she tries anything anyway - I caught her diving in to someone's pot of taramasalata when my back was turned. She loved it surprisngly - very naughty though as quite salty I think. Can't stand the stuff myself

Oh and I just bought my first steamer today - well a steamer shelf thing that sits inside your saucepan!
