Weaning - help!

[JeNiC31]

Our 8 month old has been weaning since 5 months and she was doing so well, now up to 3 meals a day and dropped two bottles. However she has, for the last 2-3 weeks been a nightmare with eating solids unless it's banana or yoghurt! We introduced fruit late, we've tried putting fruit in savoury food, we've tried purée / lumpy / finger food. She just winges at everything after a few mouthfuls! Is this a standard phase they go through?

Is she teething? My lo is refusing solids.. last few days and her top gums are swollen

Yes she is actually is that a thing?

Is she self feeding? If so probably best to start. DS loves fruit, cheese, toast, and anything creamy like yoghurt but needs to touch and test textures before he’ll try them. I also serve new foods with ones he likes - he’ll start with his comfortable foods but will nearly always try and eat the new ones eventually after a bit of experimentation.

Every time my dd is teething she goes off her food. Last teething, she had 4 teeth come through over a month.
