doing a mix of purees and finger food, loading spoon for her and spoon feeding. but she's not really that interested and only likes smooth fruit, yogurt, ella's pouches etc. Want to make less of a deal of meals and just offer finger foods as I think she prefers them but am concerned as she's only just come back onto her 0.4th percentile curve and they want me to come have her weighed again in a couple of weeks. I wouldn't be worrying about feeding except that she's small and so if she drops, she drops into grey area off charts and I dont' want HV's to start some sort of drastic action. I know you have a teeny one, can you advise, or anyone else? Ok to just offer finger foods for a while and occasionally offer purees and just give as much milk as she'll take? scared witless she'll lose weight. Happy, active baby who looks in proportion but not chubby.

i would offer finger foods and as much milk as poss.
milk is much, much higher in calories than any weaning foods you can offer so try not to worry about her weight.

food is fun until they're one remember
