Weaning!

My 10 month old is currently refusing to eat anything other than purées or baby rice cakes. Usually all of the blw snacks I make for him he scoffs down and loves them! He’s been quite disturbed due to his 2nd top tooth coming through and it’s literally RIGHT under the surface so I think it’s hurting him, and therefore he also doesn’t want to eat anything hard. Any suggestions on what I do?!😫 I know any type of food is better than nothing and purées won’t harm him but I feel guilty when usually he’s eating solid meals! Shall I just follow his lead?! Please help!!

Don't feel guilty He's obviously not feeling the solids with his teeth coming in. My little girl is the same when she's teething she won't eat mains/solids but will eat yogurts puddings ect and she's one on Sunday. Don't be hard on yourself it's a difficult stage the teething I hate it so awful seeing them in pain As long as he's eating it doesn't matter.My lo had Weetabixs for supper the other day as that's all she would take and at first I was stressing but then I was like something is better than nothing x

@Danielle this is so reassuring🥹 I think social media has also put SO much pressure on me, seeing these influencers giving their babies 3 course meals each time I feel like I should be doing more! But you’re so right, why should I put so much pressure on us both when if he’s happy eating a pouch then so be it! Thank you mama!x

We are always going to feel we should be doing more but we do what's best for our child and go at our own pace. If every child was the same what a boring place it would be. He's eating he's happy he's being fed I'd only begin to worry if he wasn't eating/drink. He will be back to his usual self eating once he's not in any discomfort. You are doing the best you can and don't compare yourself to others and relax(well as much as you can!) here if you need to chat x

My little one has only discovered food and eating a good amount in the last two weeks and she’s 14 months! I wouldn’t worry at all
