DS has been ok at eating up until now. I have always given him a mixture of finger foods and purees but in the last month, he won't eat any finger food - he just sucks on it and them throws it or just chucks it without even trying to eat it.
He is eating spooned stuff (but refuses to eat anything I've made and pureed - he likes jars & yoghurt) - I just feel like we're going backwards and it's getting so frustrating. I've tried to take the hard line - if he doesn't eat what's given to him he gets nothing else but it doesn't seem to be working and I feel awful for doing it at times but I don't know how else he's going to learn.
I am still breastfeeding and have tried cutting out the mid morning and mid afternoon feeds so that he isn't filling up on milk but this has had no effect either.
I know it could be teething related but I don't know what to do.
I don't want to be giving him jarred food as I would like him to eat fresh food as much as possible. It's difficult to eat as a family as my partner works late most of the time and it's hard to get time to cook while DS is awake - every time we go in the kitchen he cries if I put him in his highchair or tries to hold to my legs so I can't move around if I take him out.
I don't have the energy to cook special meals once he's gone to bed as I just seem to end up doing housework and then going to bed. I'm also trying organise a wedding and moving house so I just have no spare time apart from when DS is in bed during the day & that time is spent washing up etc.
I know I've rambled on buit I feel like I'm failing at getting DS to eat normally and it's really stressing me out - any suggestions or tips would be great.
