My dd is nearly 26wks and has been weaning since 19wks started off with a bit of baby rice slowly increasing the amount over 3wks then started giving one ice cube of purée and have now upped this to 3 cubes with 1cube of fruit for dessert. Does this sound about right or does she need more? Also she will only take 2-3oz of water before she starts chewing the spout thing and blows raspberries of water! About 3wks I started introducing a little bit of cereal at breakfast, when should I introduce a bit of lunch?

Whenever you want to introduce lunch, do it. There's no need to have a timetable or bring different meals in after so many days/weeks.

Honestly, there are no rules. She'll let you know when she's had enough (refusing the spoon etc) and for now the bulk of her nutrition will come from milk and will do so until she's 1. For now, food is for fun, and is just for learning about tastes and textures as well as supplementing the milk diet.
