I am after a bit of advice as I don't know where I am going wrong.
My little boy is now 7.5 months and we started weaning at 6 months. He really got into the first tastes which were mainly in the morning about half hour after his bottle. Spoon fed purees. He was then hospitalised with bronchiolitus so weaning stopped for a couple of weeks while he recovered. We then started again and he began to wolf down his morning porridge with some finger foods such as grated cheese, toast, carrot sticks, melon etc.
Now the last week he is point blank refusing to try things. I put him in his high chair and he sees me preparing his food and screams the place down. I have also been giving breakfast 1.5 hrs after his morning bottle but the last few days he's been getting tired then and wants a nap. Is this normal for a 7.5 month baby to want to nap 1.5 hours after getting up? Sometimes he will be awake for 4 hours til he next bottle but most of the time his food time coincides with when he's too tired.
He was 6 weeks early so I guess only just 6 months old corrected. I am really trying to be relaxed about this but it's just getting harder. He will happily hold food and try things himself but he's not actually eating that much.
Am I doing something wrong? My friends babies of the same age are now on 3 established meals a day and rapidly dropping their milk. I just worry that another month will go by and he'll still not have progressed.
Any ideas welcome!
