I moved on from purees in month 8 to mashed and now starting blw. He eats breakfast, lunch and dinner. & he drinks his regular bottles throughout the day.
@Annabel ahh okay so you just mash everything up? I’ve been giving him a little regular food but not too much. I get scared of him choking.
@Luvy That’s a good idea to mash everything. I sometimes do too. But get scared of him choking. So I do mostly pureee baby food. What’s blw?
We do babycled weaning and she eats 2-3 meals a day depending on how our day is going and drink 4 - 4-5 oz bottles. I just cut everything up small and she’s able to mash it up no problem, she only has 2 bottom front teeth. Everything I give is soft ish though. She clears almost entire adult servings of a veggie, grain, fruit and protein each meal. I don’t know where she puts it though cause she’s so tiny 😂
@Maria I don’t mash the food any more, I cut it up into small bite sized pieces now. It definitely is scary, just remeber that gagging and coughing when eating is a nature reflux. When this happens try to remain calm because if you get scared, they will too, it’s natural because they are just starting to learn to eat. When he is actually choking you WILL know (silent, skin changing color) Have you taken a cpr class for infants? I’d definitely recommend so that you’re more confident if anything were to happen 😊
@Maria I totally understand trust me I was the same way!! You should follow the page solid starts in IG you'll get a better idea of how to give baby food. They also teach you baby led weaning which is introducing your child to solids. And I totally understand the choking part!! I would introduce the new food consistency on the weekends when my partner would be there for the extra support and eventually you'll notice that the baby starts learning on there own what to do. You also just gotta remain calm. You got this!
@Luvy Thank you so much for the information and advice. I will check that out.
@Annabel thank you! Yeah I have been cutting his food into tiny pieces and he seems to be doing fine. There has been times where he eats and he starting coughing and gagging no chocking but it does scare me but I try to remain calm. I have taken a little cpr class for infants and have a little more knowledge on it just in case. 😊
