7 month old weaning help

[babyfoodhp]

Please can someone advise. My boy will be exactly 7 months next in 4 days and we started weaning properly about a week or 2 after 6 months. Sometimes he eats nicely other time refuses. Mixture of spoon fed and BLW

On the one hand I hear food before one is just for fun and milk is his main priority. But on the other hand I hear it's good to do it now and fir him to take to it sooner rather than later.

I keep getting stressed and upset if he refuses

Food before one is just for fun is one of MN's myth.
Food before one is fundamental to build taste and preferences that will last decades. So from a nutritional point of view, milk is still very important, but on building food habits, weaning is the crucial months in which you can shape what your son will like and want.
So focus on real food, not processed baby food such as rusk, wafer, puffs or other so called self feeding" marketing.
Offer a very wide , wider that what you eat yourself, variety of vegetables, and don't focus ion the food comes with a spoon or fingers, focus on the food that reaches the mouth.
First bites by Bee Wilson is a great book about the way humans are introduced to food. It is not a cookbook, but a reflection on eating habits.

Don’t let him sense that you get stressed and upset in he refuses food. He’ll pick up on it and get stressed/upset too and will be even less likely to eat. Food time should always be positive. When it’s not, young children can make negative associations with it.
It’s still very early days, so there really is no need to worry. Off-days are normal. Just continue to provide opportunities for more experiences with food and leave it up to him to take them when he’s ready.
It might help to keep a note of what and when he does and doesn’t eat to see if there are any patterns. It may be, for example, that sometimes he is just too tired to eat. You might also be surprised at how much he has actually consumed.
Also, try not to offer drinks 20 minutes before feeds.
