We've been at this weaning lark almost 3 months now, and we're still just on tastes and smooshing stuff. I know it's a process, I know milk is their main source of nutrition before a year old. But surely she should be eating a bit more by now?
We're mostly doing finger foods - she rarely tolerates spoon feeding, just wants to sing into the wrong end of the spoon, and cries if you try and wrestle it off her or sneak a second spoon around the first one. With finger food she'll pick it up, look at it, smear it around, and occasionally taste it, but SO little is actually going in. And a lot of that gets dribbled back out. I've tried feeding her just after, just before, and at various points in between milk feeds, with no difference discernible so I don't think it's a timing issue.
I didn't worry when she was 6 months, because everyone knows it's just tastes at first. I didn't worry too much at 7 months, because some of them are just slower to take to it. I'm trying not to worry now she's 8 months, but she'll be 9 months next week and surely we should be making some progress by now? I still have a few months before I'm back at work, but there's going to need to be a massive turnaround for her to be able to sustain herself through the day.
Has anyone else had things turn around at this age? What point do I actually need to start worrying? It just feels like she isn't getting it.
