Tell me I’m not the only one

So from 6 months Ive never done purées always BLW and she was doing ok with it (she’s never been a big eater as she’s tiny) but I’ve offered pouches when she’s been teething etc. for the past few weeks she’s wanted nothing but soft food/pouches and if I try and offer “normal food” or anything you have to chew she won’t eat it and will spit it out! Does anyone else still give their baby pouches/purees?

I still give my little boy who’s 15mo some pouches, the yogurt ones or the fruit ones. Only because when he’s teething he prefers them & as long as he’s eating other bits I don’t see a problem with it. We do give normal baby yogurts now also but some days he’s fussy with them & prefers the sachet ones. Maybe because they’re cold coming out the fridge. My little boy has most of his teeth now I think the last few are coming in & the past few days the things he usually loves like normal type food he isn’t wanting at all. Id say what you’re doing is absolutely fine & just go with what she wants & you’ll soon get past it 😊 x

@Jessica thankyou!! For breakfast she usually has weetabix/porridge with fruit mashed in but her dinner and tea just seem to be the “meal” pouches with a pudding (usually yogurt, mouse or custard) she will literally not eat anything solid x

You’re not alone! Same here! Suddenly super fussy on textures. I did put it down to teething but this week I’ve got a mouth full of ulcers so it’s possible she had HF&M last week and I just thought it was dribbling cos of teeth.

I think that sounds absolutely fine! As long as she’s fed & if you’re trying other things & she’s not wanting it then you know she’s not massively hungry. But I completely get it! It’s such a worry when they’re so young & can’t communicate. I’m always finding myself constantly worrying am I giving enough food, am I giving enough variety 🙈 it’s stressful! Then you open social media & see accounts telling you to make lamb curries etc 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 every time I make something new from scratch my little boy hates it! lol But honestly you’re doing the right thing! Fed is always best x

@Jessica omg I know! It stresses me out seeing babies her age eating 3 meals nicely with a spoon etc I’m like what my girl would just throw that on the floor 🤣🤣 she’s only 16lb tho so she’s tiny and the HV just says she won’t have the appetite of a bigger baby so I try not to worry but I just think surely she should be eating normal food and not just pouches but that’s all she wants! X

Haha yes I know what you mean! There’s absolutely no way I’d be able to give my little boy a spoon to feed himself 😂 Yes definitely nothing to worry about at all! But I know what you mean! It’s hard not to worry isn’t it with all the things you see online. If that’s what she’s happy with then I would just go with it, especially if she’s having milk anyway. You’re definitely doing all the right things! 😊 x

Oh yes. The boy loves those grahams squishies pouches (I figure fresh yoghurt is better than the yoghurt based pouches you get in the baby section of the supermarket). And what would we do without prune pouches. I tend to save other pouches for if we are going somewhere unpredictable but I think my husband likes giving them.
