We started with a mixture of vegetable purees and finger food at 6 months, which I thought was the best of both worlds. Then 9 month old DS started refusing spoon feeding about a month ago, so we are purely baby led weaning now. But I feel like I am doing something wrong - most things just end up on the floor, and he isn't really eating any vegetables.
I either give him what we are eating or make things like roast vegetables, scrambled eggs, or toast with almond butter/hommous/pate, with a selection of vegetables like broccoli or baby corn. But he eats very little of anything.
At least with the purees I knew he was actually getting some nutrients from food. He is a good weight still (on the 75% percentile), although we are still breast feeding on demand. However I am hoping to slowly wean him off his reliance on breast milk as I am going back to work in January part-time. Also he wont take a bottle anyway.
Can any baby led weaners give me some advice? What does a typical day's eating look like for you? How do you get them to eat a balanced diet? Thank you!
