I posted last week on how happy I was that my lo seemed to be enjoying weaning second time. We restarted last week, she had previously got on well with sweet potato, but since starting last week her sleep pattern has got worse, she is screaming in the evenings and night with bad wind and it seems calpol is the only thing that has given her any relief. We are absolutely shattered with all of the waking up screaming. Sha also doesn't seem to want to open her mouth for the food despite grabbing the spoon and wanting to get at the food. I am feeding her the solids at 11am, she is 26 weeks old. We have also tried pear but with similar experiences, is all this normal?

my dd's sleep patterns also went haywire when we started weaning, but it settled down quite quickly. have you thought about starting her off with finger food, so that she can grab at it and eat it herself? it's called baby led weaning, there's loads on here about it and i write a blog on is here
