We had a very slow start to weaning. I think some of it was down to ds's reflux, the rest I do not know.
We were advised to start at 4 months because of the reflux however he wasnt bothered about it so I stopped totally not wanting to force the issue.
We tried again at 5 months and 6 and then started to get going when he was about 7 months.
He will not be spoon fed at all. He might have 2 mouthfuls, realise whats happening and then we get the mouth clamped and head back scenario plus lots of tears.
I intended to BLW which we have done to a degree but he wont eat the food at all.
The only thing he has managed to eat is scotch pancakes for breakfast and cow and gate biscuits
Come meal times, I give him whatever we are eating and it just gets mulched together in his hands, thrown on the floor or stared at.
I have been thinking back to when we weaned dd and by the time she was this age, she was eating 3 healthy home made meals a day and just down to 2 bottles. One in the morning and one at night.
Ds is the total opposite and is still taking 5 8oz bottles a day.
What can we do to help him or to get him to start eating more food?
The boy surely cannot live off scotch pancakes forever!
