Hi all,
At a bit of a loss with my 8 month old and his weaning.
He started very reluctantly. Wouldn’t take a spoon at all so figured BLW was the way forward. The. He got poorly so kind of stalled for a couple of weeks.
Now he will take a spoon happily but will only eat the smoothest fruit and vegetable purées. When I give him stage 2, weetabix or anything else he gags and it comes back up. However, he can chew and swallow oatcakes without peanut butter, carrot puffs, rusks and breadsticks so I know he can eat well on his own.
I’ve tried giving him: pasta, bread, egg, vegetable strips, strawberries (in the net and out), porridge, homemade pinwheels, cheese straw. You name it, he’s had it. He just squishes them and drops them.
He is wearing 12-18 month clothes (snuggly) so he needs a bit more. Taking 5 feeds of 9oz a day and a pouch and finger foods at every meal time. He has started to wake in the night for milk too.
I think he is going to be super fussy - his big brother is as well- do I just keep offering and wait….? Feelin a bit impatient and worrying he’s not satisfied!
