Dear all, I would very much like your advise for feeding my son -
Background: My son has had no problems feeding & weaning was easy. Up until now he ate well including the transition from puree to textured.
The problem is that last week we went on holiday and had no access to home cooking. So with this in mind I bought organic healthly reputable branded food, which were recommended by all mums i spoke with. Unfortunately apart from the fruit products & one meat meal, he hated them I had to resort to porridge and extra milk. Now we are back home & back to home cooking, he is still refusing his meals apart from his morning porridge with fruit, yogurts and pureed fruit.
He closes him mouth firmly and howls. The odd occasion when we can sneak a spoonful in, he eats it and does not spit out. We maintain a calm feed, by singing, playing, praise & a lot of patience! He is happy until the spoon comes near & then back to crying & refusal. Again this only happens with lunch & tea. Once he has finally eaten, I give him either a yogurt or fruit & he takes these without complaint, despite howling for the last hour over his main meal!!
Now we are back home, I have not increased his milk feeds and stick to the routine we had before last week. Has anyone experianced the same???
