Solid food and weaning
Anyone else’s LO refusing to eat all the food he liked when first trying solids?
My LO absolutely loves stuff like avocado or carrot in his first week of weaning but by the second week he refuses to eat anything but the smooth baby rice. Should I still keep trying to give him these each day?

I started mine literally a month ago he loves porridge he started on small amounts then every couple of days had a bit more mouthfulls he's gagged a few times so I stopped I've tried him on jar foods atm there's a few likes he likes the non lumpy ones x
@Catherine gagging is an entirely normal part of weaning, you don’t need to stop because of that 😊
@Sophie no I know but he usually puts his hands up of moves his head when he doesn't want anymore I just worry sometimes
@Catherine oh yes, definitely don’t give more when he’s indicated he doesn’t want it 😊

Yes, still keep trying! Doesn’t necessarily have to be every day though. I’d try to gradually cut down on the amount of baby rice he gets as it doesn’t have much nutritional value at all and if it’s stopping baby from trying a range of flavours then you’d probably be better off without it
