Hello.
I'm so frustrated with my nearly 9 months old son not wanting to eat much in the way of solids. I started with purees and there was a brief period when he ate them well. For the last few weeks he doesn't want to get the spoon near his mouth and he doesn't show any interest in anything other than chunks of toast, cottage and cheddar cheese and pears. Tried cutting milk down but just ends up in him getting less milk and not necessarily more food! Ordered Rapleys BLW book and it all sounds ideal in the book but he just plays a bit and then cries when he's offered the carrot sticks, broccoli, chicken, etc. Back to hand fed pear, toast and cheese. Meanwhile all the complex, lovingly made organic purees sit in the freezer. He just seems to want milk. Sometimes I wish I lived in a remote village on top of a mountain and didn't know about any of the 'have to's. Maybe then things would be more natural and relaxed What is the way forward? Am I too late for BLW? Should I stay with the purees? They say include him in meal times but I'm on my own at lunch time and we don't have dinner till much later after he goes to bed due to husband's hours.
