Am I doing this right? (7 month weaning)

[Mrswellyboot]

In the morning I give him Aptamil cereal for 7 month plus ( sometimes he won't close his mouth and just looks up a me )

Then a dinner such as pasta, courgette and tomato with herbs (blended)
Or sweet potato and pear (the tomato is his favourite - the others he makes funny faces at)

Something like baby rice and fruit in the evening or an avocado

Where do I go now? Do I introduce meat and veg? Do I make him the dinners he makes faces at?

Also ideas for meals I can freeze (send to cm)

thanks so much

I'd move to roughly mashed food and offer finger foods too. He can have the same food you eat, just without any salt (don't add salt during cooking - add it at the table for adults). Keep an extra portion of your dinner for him to have for lunch the next day.

You can give them normal porridge, readybrek or weetabix for breakfast rather than expensive baby porridge if you want. Or mini shredded wheat soaked in milk or yoghurt are good as finger foods. Plus toast is good for self-feeding.

And no honey or whole nuts either (nut butter is fine). I avoided hard raw fruit/veg at this age due to the choking risk but soft fruit or roasted/steamed veg sticks are fine.

Thank you science, that would be easier. We eat a lot of plain food anyway - salmon and veg, Shepards pie so I could do these no problem for him

I have the baby stock cubes from boots. I am finding he likes tasty stuff like the tomato and herb pasta rather than plain carrot and apple etc.

Would I be able to give him things like stir fry though (without soy etc)

He could probably manage big strips of pepper as finger foods, you could spoonfeed rice. Noodles might be a challenge!
