Ds is 6 month today and we've been BLW for 2 weeks. We've been quite experimental as he's taken to it really well and seems to enjoy it alot. Today though, we had tears. Unfortunately I was not home for dinner (looking after my mum whose unwell) so dh gave him dinner. Aparently ds shovelled a whole potatoe wedge into his mouth and very shortly after started screaming. Dh seems to think it was an 'I'm in pain' cry. Said he couldn't settle him in his chair so had to take him out and distract him in the mirror. Said he was very upset. After he'd calmed down they say back to finish dinner. Apparently ds tucked back in straight away but started crying everytime he put food in his mouth/swallowed (dh isn't sure which). Dh said he basically cried all the time he was eating, which was quite distressing.

I'm abit worried. Anyone any ideas what could have caused this? Maybe he swallowed a piece of spud too big for him to comfortably handle? But then why the continued crying? He does have a tendancy to litterally frantically shovel food into his mouth, like he's not been fed for days! I'm trying to not give him a milk feed too close to a meal as he eats less and messes more. But now I'm worried that I'm leaving him too hungry and it's causing him to frantically eat?

Could he have burnt his mouth on the potato wedge? That would explain the crying when eating later as his mouth could be sore from the burn.

Just one possibility mind!

That's what I thought too Truth or maybe it has a sharp bit? I'd check his mouth and look for sore bits, including new teeth Smile.
