23wk just starting to wean. Few Qs!!!

[WeLoveHaribo]

DD is v loud/vocal/stressy when we're eating and she's not, if sat on my knee while eating she takes food off my plate/out of my hand etc
If BLW how do u prepare meals in advance?
Do u offer at all three mealtimes?
I've put food on tray but she won't pick it up. If I hold it to her she'll take it off me and suck!...
Tried carrots, broccoli, peas, corn, melon and yog.
If I were to make up some purée, what milk do I use? She's ebf at min.
Thanks for reading sorry for mumbled post.

You can use cows milk for cooking, but many people do use breastmilk/formula too. Depending on what you have available.

BLW - you would give her what you are having, as long as you are comfortable doing that. It can take a while for them to get to grips with picking food up off a tray, so handing it to her isn't going to be a problem, but leave some on the tray too, to encourage her to try picking food up.

I would start off offering just one meal, and that would be after her normal feed. First weeks of solids are really for tastes.

One rule of thumb I always use, always introduce new foods in the morning on a week day. Should she have any reaction to any foods, drs etc will be open & easily accessed!

Oh & no haribo

Opps, wanted to say that you do not need to add salt/sugar etc to her foods. Try to avoid too much gravy/sauce as they can salty too.

Thanks...
Haribo is her brother (so ud think I'd know what to do!!!) I've forgot so much but did mainly purée with him until 7ish mth then offered anything!. BLW isn't going to b that easy for us we as we all eat at diff times but I'll give it a go.
Thanks.

I was the same with dd2! It all just got lost somehow!

Good Luck!
