Hello,
My DS is 10.5 months old and eats 3 meals a day. He has been weaned in the traditional way starting on purees and advancing onto lumpy food and finger foods here and there. He has always been a good eater and easily puts away a bowlful of food for brekkie, lunch and dinner and has finger food snacks in between. I am now wondering how and when to make the transition to him eating normal whole table foods. My concern is that if I stop giving him puree altogether and just chuck a few bits of food on his table for him at each mealtime that he won't eat enough and be hungry. As I said, he has always been a good eater and sits there like a little bird with his mouth open waiting for the next spoonful and gets annoyed with me if I'm too slow! The food I make him at the moment is quite lumpy which he has no problem eating. The truth is that I am actually getting a little bit tired of cooking special meals (with the next one I'm def going the BLW route!). Every day I have to think about what I'm going to make and how I'm going to make it. I am also keen for him to sit with us at mealtimes and eat with us. Up until now I have fed him his special dinner and then given him some finger food to keep him occupied while we eat. Can anyone share their experiences or advice?
