Ds has been weaning now for about 8 weeks, started on fruit purees at about 24 wks and is now doing quite well despite being quite a fussy, up and down eater. It has always been a battle to get him to take his milk to be honest so it's nice to have something else to offer him.
In a typical day he now has
breakfast - Muller little stars fromage frais
Lunch - carrot and apple puree and banana custardfor desert
Tea - Chicken with rice and veg puree and some kind of desert like the rest of banana custard etc
Plus 20oz milk.
He doesn't always have exactly that but he always has some meat at tea time, veg puree at lunch and something yogurt/cereal/baby rice like at breakfast.
Anyway, sorry am babbling on, the problem is, I keep trying him with slightly lumpy food occasionally but even though he takes it he alway gags as soon as he realises it is lumpy and then he wretches and vomits a bit, not a lot but usually just some of the milk feed he's had just before.
This happens everytime I try the lumpy food, I would say it's happened about 4 times now. I'm just worried as to whether this is just something all babies do when first trying lumpy food or whether they don't and he's going to have a problem switching to more lumpy food?
The other problem I have is that he has very slow weight gain which we are waiting to see the paed about but I the hv suggested to 'keep persisting' with the lumpy food but the problem I have with that is that I don't want him to keep vomiting his milk up cause it's hard enough to get it in to him in the first place.
Anyway, any advice on any of this would be gratefully received
