Weaning is depressing the hell out of me, and over the last couple of days most mealtimes I end up in tears. I realise this is bad for DS (6.5 months) and really try hard to stay calm and positive BUT weaning was going brilliantly for first 4 weeks.
Now DS very clearly wants to be in charge and won't let me spoon feed him even though he is hungry - he will eat finger foods, but most ends up on floor and takes ages. He will take a few spoonfuls from me, and favours sweet over savoury, but mealtimes are really a chore now.
Knock on effect is also not sleeping for morning nap when hasn't had enough breakfast, and waking at 5am hungry. Also means milk feeding times are all over the place, and I am a Mum who needs a routine so I can plan my day - I BF and don't like doing it in public.
Anyone out there been through/ going through stress over weaning?
