I'm really sorry, I am just so clueless about weaning, I feel like I am making such a mess of things.
DS is 6 months and I have started weaning but its not going great to be honest.
I have the AK book and have tried lots of different combinations but he just doesn't seem to be interested in anything savoury - he will simply clamp his mouth shut and he looks at me as if I am trying to poison him! I have tried him with a couple of jars in case it was my cooking he objected to but no luck there either.
He does seem to like fruit purees and yoghurts and will chew on a bit of banana, ticks of cheese, risecake etc
On a typical day he now probably has
Breakfast - 1x weetabix with milk (probably eats just under half)
Lunch - I normally just give finger foods, eg a slice of bread with cream cheese cut into fingers. He will pick this up and put to his mouth, I'm not sure much goes in though. He sometimes then has a fruitpot.
Tea - the ONLY thing he will eat is Ella kitchen stage one purees. I think he likes them because they are mostly about 70% fruit.
Just have a few questions:
(1)Do you think what he is eating at the moment is adequate?
(2) Do you I should just let him eat what he likes at the moment or am I just encouraging him not to like savoury foods?
(3) Would reducing his milk encourage him to eat more? At present he is b/f first and last thing so I don't know how much he has then, but during his 2 day formula feeds he has 8-9oz.
Sorry its so long, I'm just getting quite anxious about it all . I feels sucha bad mum everytime I get a packet of Ellas kitchen food out...
