My DS is 11.5 months old. Has always had a mixture of finger foods and spoon fed. In the last few weeks he has been using his spoon and helping himself - with varying degress of success ! He mostly refuses to be sppon fed now. I have tried a variety of finger foods and he spits out virtually everything I make. Tonight I made a selection of veg for him to pick at and gave him small amounts and he spat all of it out. I ended up giving him a small piece of cheese which he loves and a potato cake with very thin marmite and then grapes and fromage frais. He loves omelette so I sneak veggies into that. He loves bread, crumpets, potato cakes and flat oatcakes and hummous and cream cheese. He will eat virtually all fruit. I have tried pasta, homemade lentil and cheese wedges, homemade falafel etc and he won't eat any of it. I keep reading how at this stage babies are to have mashed up bits of what we are having but I don't know how we are going to make the transition when he doesn't seem to like anything that I try.
I try not to let him see that I am bothered and try not to worry but inside I am panicking. Can anyone reassure me that he will eventually start eating more of a variety and that it just takes time or anyone got any advice about anything else I could try. He is BF by the way and has between 3 and 4 feeds in 24 hours.
Thanks !
