Started weaning early - should I go backwards?

I have now found the information on Mumsnet on weaning and realise that I had very strange advice about weaning. DS is now a week short of 6 months, but about 5 weeks ago he stopped sleeping through the night, needing food, and was starting to grab at my food - having been told that these were signs he needed weaning, I broke out the weaning spoons and started pureeing. He now has porridge and fruit in the morning, veg at lunchtime and fruit or veg at teatime, but only around an icecube's worth each time (and a drink of water). He absolutely loves it sometimes (mainly when it is mixed with baby rice), but othertimes he pulls faces, pokes it back out with his tongue or refuses to open his mouth. I've tried to be really laid back and make it all fun and just stop if he doesn't seem interested, but now i've read some decent advice, I'm worried that I started too early and I don't know whether I should cut back how often I feed him, or change my approach. Should I go for more food less often?

If he's a week off 6 months it's unlikely cutting back now would make any difference - just carry on with the laid back approach you have described and try not to worry about it too much

your doing fine just make sure you offer variety so your baby wont get bored. they all do through fases of making faces and refusing etc so dont worry. keep going.
