Whinging/ crying

Hi all! So this morning I gave my little girl her first proper blw meal for breakfast. She’s been on purées since 5.5 months and we moved her to the 7 month ones a couple of weeks ago at 6.5 months and she was doing well with them she scoffs a whole pouch so she’s deffo hungry for food. She’s also been having some little finger snacks like melty sticks etc and been ok with them. So this morning I made her some banana pancakes, cut into strips as per solid starts and gave her those with a banana on the side (half the peel on with the top exposed which she’s had before). She started grabbing the pancakes well and putting them in her mouth managing to get some bits off, she wasn’t gagging but started whinging really bad when she had a bit in her mouth, face going bright red and getting louder. She tried a couple more bits and was just getting louder and redder each time which then evolved into her crying. Took the pancake away and offered her the banana which like I say she’s had before and she did exactly the same thing. Any idea why this is happening? She gagged about twice but not bad. I was mimicking chewing for her too and there was no distractions? She also wasn’t tired either. I was really nervous to give them and now feel even more discouraged 😭

Maybe she just wasn't keen on the texture especially if she's been used to purees and much softer foods. The more exposure the better so don't be discouraged!

@Elissa maybe! Would you try again with the same thing next then or something different? Like should I give her pancakes again in the morning or maybe something else like toast? X

You should give her another fruit one week and then the next week try the banana again or the fruit or food she wasn’t feeling.

Maybe try substituting pancakes with an egg 🥚

@Eviee she’s normally fine with banana she’s had it like this or in spears multiple times 🙃 I think it was the pancakes that put her off I guess!

@Erika Michelle we are trying egg this weekend when her dads home as we haven’t tested the allergy yet 🤞🏻 x

@Toni Babies go through phases of liking things they’ve liked before lol. She could not like pancakes now and like pancakes a few weeks from now ya know? Same with bananas. It’s normal, that’s why I recommend switching on and off with foods. 😊

Just a shot in the dark but could be teething, my son would cry and eat at the same time. In particular when I first introduced more solid foods. It was obviously pushing down more on his gums. Like when they go crazy with a teething ring. He did that a few times at the start

Sounds like she’s teething and the solid foods are hurting her teeth so I’m sure it will pass. My boy is 16 months and has 2 teeth coming through and has come up in a bright red teething rash on his face the last 2 evenings at meal times
