7 month old slow with weaning

[GeorgesMummy5224]

My boy is 7 month old next week and weaning is going a little slower than I would have liked.

He absolutely loves yogurt and anything smooth (Ella's kitchen pouches and jars) but I'd ideally like to do baby led weaning but he doesn't really show any interest in picking up food and putting it in his mouth.

If we pass it to him and put it to his mouth he will try it but just putting it in front of him he's not really interested.

He's also struggling with textures. I tried him with rusk mixed with his milk this morning and he did have some but wasn't overly fussed. He has eaten it before a few weeks ago but then started teething and now isn't really bothered. Pretty sure he is still teething and still being fussy with bottles.

Any tips to get past this? Do I just persevere? I feel like we've stalled and I don't know how to move forward.

Ooh that's a good idea, thank you ☺️ he has had a better day today, feel like we made some progress 😁

He's been very hit and miss with bottles for a few weeks with teething and all, but you can usually guarantee a good bottle at bedtime but tonight he was a little devil 😈 he still managed about 7oz but he wriggled and writhed to start with until he realised what was happening.

Tonight is also the first night he's decided it's a good idea to sleep on his tummy. I'm so on edge! 😬
