Started giving food to taste at around four-five months and properly weaning at six. We're at the stage now where we don't have to prepare anything specially for her - she has an ok pincer grip, can chew everything, will spit something out if she can't swallow it, eats a variety of textures, flavours, etc.
The trouble is, she doesn't want to! Occasionally (maybe once a week) she'll absolutely demolish a plate of curry or pasta (exactly the same as what we eat) but mostly everything goes on the floor. She happily ate toast and dippy eggs a couple of weeks ago, but has totally rejected them since.
I tend to replace whatever goes on the floor with more food. Maybe this is the wrong thing to do? Should I give her a set amount, so that she learns that when it's gone, it's gone?
Its also very hard to know when she's hungry - often I'll offer the breast and she won't want it, but then ten minutes later she will. Maybe I'm mis-timing my food offerings?
I know the answer to this is probably just to persist and wait for improvement, but alternative advice is also appreciated!
