he only eats yoghurt- is this ok?

[mrsnobby]

DS 7 1/2 months. Started weaning at 23 wks - Annabel Karmel purees and always put bits of veg/ fruit/ toast out to play with as well. All going brilliantly for 7 wks, introduced protein and mashed food/ stuff with a bit more texture.
He had really bad cold with high temp and totally went off milk & food for 3/4/ days.
Since then will only have yoghurt and fruit puree, has to be really really smooth. Gags on anything solid and won't touch any finger foods.
Had a breakthrough this morning when he had some baby porridge.
Is this OK? Should I start right back at the beginning in terms of first tastes like sweet potato, carrot etc?
Considered abandoning and starting BLW but he has been sick a few times after gagging and won't put food in his mouth, in fact cries when I put it on the table in front of him!
Should I just carry on with yoghurt and fruit for a couple of wks?

Hi MrsNobby,
Wanted to bump your message up a bit, I don't have an answer I'm afraid, my DS is the same age and doing the same things although HV seems to think it might be teeth as he hasn't been ill. I'm worried that he has lost weight. I've tried finger foods but he just gums them and throws them on the floor. Its making me really sad - can anyone help?

No real solution I'm afraid, although my little one went through a phase of only eating pear puree. I just mixed that with everything! even veg. You coud try that for a bit and gradually lessen the amount of fruit to veg.

Could you try dipping things like carrot sticks into the yoghurt and seeing if that helps? My DD also sometimes refuses to be spoonfed but will happily eat if she has to bite it herself. NOt true BLW as she doesn't put anything in her own mouth. She goes for the baby bird approach!!! She also much prefers proper chunks that she bites herself to lumpy food (like the stage 2 jars).
