Hi all, any advice greatly appreciated!
I have a 10 month old who started weaning at 6 months as recommended, though felt at 5 months he was ready. He has been slow to wean, started with baby rice etc and at 10 months I’m only just managing puréed food with some lumps.. in the last week he is almost refusing any savoury I give him.. fruit pots and yoghurts go down easily but basically anything lumpy or savoury tasting seems tricky for him. When I have been introducing new foods he still often gags and is sick. I’ve taken to offering finger foods but they are the only thing i give him that he won’t put in his mouth! He will take a bit if I offer it on a spoon but only minuscule amounts. Has anyone else had a baby like this at this age? When the health visitor says I should try smoked haddock I can’t help but feel she doesn’t understand! He has also gone off his milk a little which is worrying me leaving a couple of oz after every feed. I feel like everyone else’s babies are on boiled eggs and soldiers and I’m struggling to get slightly lumpy savoury into him. It doesn’t feel right giving him sweet things only if he won’t take the savoury but maybe I should, some friends have suggested feeding him whatever he will eat! Again any advice for someone who has had similar experiences and come out the other end... feeling low.
