Weaning.. help!

Anyone else struggling with weaning? My LO is hardly eating anything whatsoever! She just about eats porridge, toast and finger puffs. I feel like she’s not getting any healthy food like fruit, veg or proper meals as she won’t eat them. Any tips or food ideas to help her eat? Thanks!

Are you doing baby led or purées? My baby has done great with baby led and finger food but not interested in pouches or blended food particularly.

@Jade I’m doing a bit of both to see which she will eat more of but not really winning with either. All my friends with babies say their little ones love food and will eat anything!

My girl is the same dont worry. She loves a meatball lol and buttery toast. Those are the two things I know she'll eat. All the lovely veg, fruit, yogurt etc she just throws. I'd say keep offering it though just in smaller amounts so there's not as much waste lol My girl def prefers warm food over cold also x

@Alison oh bless her! I find it so stressful as I’m trying to make her a variety of things to try and retrying them like they advise to do.. Thank you, yeah I guess I’ll just have to persevere with little amounts like you say to avoid too much waste. Maybe it’s my cooking 🤣 x

Mine isn't remotely interested either, I'm not worried as my first was the same ❤️ they'll do it when they're ready ❤️ mine eats one or two mouthfuls if that of each thing she's offered but often won't have any at all xoxo

My LB just about manages toast, but most of it, he just spits out. I'm no michelin chef, but I don't think my cooking is that bad. He just blows raspberries in disgust at everything I make. The only thing he gets excited about is melty puffs 🤣👍 I found a helpful guide and recipes on the First Nutrition Trust website it was recommended by my health visitor. I'm sure you have heard it many times but at this age food is just for fun so don't worry xxx

We’ve had a really slow start too but I’m just following her lead as we’ve always done and trusting she’ll get there when she’s ready 🩷

@Bethy that made me laugh about blowing raspberries as my little girl does the same and I end up with food sprayed over my glasses 🤣 she also loves the melty puffs too!! Ah thank you, I’ve not heard of that so I will have a look 😊

Same issue here! I spoke to the health visitor and she said not to stress & just keep offering. Like most milestones some babies just take longer to "get it". My little girl is far too busy trying to stand to waste time eating 😅
