Meals

I can't even say my son is on one meal a day! I try but after 3 spoons he screams and will absolutely not let anything else into his mouth. He'll chomp on some finger foods but spits most of it out. The only thing he actually shallows are melty puffs/melty sticks so I end up giving him those at the end of most meals to keep him happy. Even then, most of it ends up on the floor. My daughter (just turned 2) wasn't a huge fan of solids but at least ate something whereas my son refuses everything. Really hard work!

Mine definitely isn’t..I can get her to try stuff but she gags on nearly everything she eats (even purée) and I don’t know what to do 😞 I think one day she will just get it (well more hoping) but apart from a couple of mouthfuls, it’s most definitely still mainly bottles

My little boy is struggling too. We offer once mostly twice a day but he hardly has anything at all. Will hold it, bring it to his mouth but doesn’t do much else with it. Only thing he will tend to definitely try is cucumber and again as someone else said melty puffs. We’ve been doing BLW for months and months as he won’t be spoon fed, won’t even let me hold a solid piece of food near his mouth. I find it frustrating when everyone else his age around us seems to be thriving x

this is so us too including the melty puff part - I've tried everything, finger foods, purees and some textured as well as thr pouches, but no, just doesn't wanna know then cries for a boob 🥺 this is starting to take a toll on me now.

My little boy is very hit and miss. He sometimes likes breakfast then next day not but wants dinner! It’s all very frustrating and stressful. I’m not enjoying this weaning process as much as id hoped!

I’ve had friends tell me their children didn’t take to it properly until 10/11 months, someone even said 13/14 months! Guess we’ve just got to keep persevering x
