Weaning

Any other mums out there struggling with weaning their April baby?? My little boy will zip his mouth shut when he’s had enough (2 spoonfuls if I’m lucky) I’ve tried BLW and puréed. With BLW he will occasionally put it in his mouth but would rather bang it on the tray and purées he will only take a few spoonfuls if that. I eat with him for breakfast and dinner, not sure what else to try! It’s really disheartening making him stuff, him creating a mess and not really eating anything and then I spend my evening washing bottles and tidying up the mess 😂 I wouldn’t mind the mess if he was eating it! I see all these posts about how much their 8 month old eats and we are so far from that! So hard not to compare yourself 🥹

They’re all so different and do it in their own time food before ones is just for fun don’t worry. Have you looked at timings making sure he’s not to close to being due another bottle, not too tired for example xx

I’m in the trenches with you. Some days he’ll smash down a pouch, other days he won’t touch it. Some days he’ll eat finger foods and other days he has no interest at all. I think it’s just consistency and perseverance but I know how you feel, especially seeing all the posts about what everyone else’s bubbas are eating. I dread trying to feed him if we’re out and resort to snacks like melty puffs

We’re in the same boat! We actually found he gets on a bit better with some of the ready to go pouches as I think they might be a bit smoother so that might be worth a shot

do not worry too much,it will change with time,my first thought as the same as your boy then all of sudden he started eating no stop. just keep offering,consider one or two spoons a victory already. However my second (april baby girl) gets bored after a couple of spoons but if I give her something to play with she would open her mouth again,sometimes instead she is thirsty and wants water before continuing her meal

It feels like I've written this post 😭 also tried everything but she shuts her mouth and won't accept anything. I also don't want to force her as it may lead to poor relationship with food. I have a freezer full of meals I've made for her but no interest

Same here

My girl was like this when we started but now she will open her mouth. I do a mixture of BLW and puree
