I have been giving purées and some finger food to my 6mo for about 3 weeks (big baby, can sit, shows other ready signs etc). He is very independent does not open his mouth for the spoon when I give it, he wants to hold his own spoon and give himself it but this results in barely anything actually going in. He then winces and maybe does it another couple of times before throwing his spoon all over the place and getting annoyed and wanting to get out his chair. He loves wedges of orange and seems a bit better with BLW but I’m a bit too nervous to solely do this.
It’s like he knows what to do (putting spoon/food in mouth) but when he does he hates it. I’ve tried plain veg, mixed veg, fruit, porridge with berries, yoghurt, loads of different things!
anyone else has this situation? Does it get better? I’m just persisting atm but it’s quite disheartening with majority ending up on the floor or me!!
