I’m really hoping that my message will reach other kind hearted mummy’s and make me feel less of a failure…
I am finding weaning my 8mo really hard and just can’t seem to get off the puree stage despite trying. I’m offering finger foods, trying a zero distraction environment, trying mashed foods with a few lumps, going back to puréed and I genuinely feel like I’m getting nowhere.
He is a small baby and has been under the paediatrician for a few months now as he struggled to gain weight enough to make HV happy. I feel he is perfectly healthy- active, good colour, sitting up since 5 months, babbles, all ok (I think anyway) but he just doesn’t really want to wean much at all.
im exhausted- I feel like I’ve failed at being a mummy at every sort of milestone or stage so far.
does anyone have any advice at all? I just want him to be happy and healthy and I’m worried he just won’t progress without weaning well. My head hurts with overthinking everything.
