We’re doing purees and just having 1 meal a day at the minute with some fruit at another point in the day. I tried BLW the other day, I cut it how it’s recommended and he choked which put the fear of god into me 😂 going to try again soon! X

BLW - just started giving some sticks of veggies at lunchtime.

2 meals, 4 bottles of milk and doing a mixture of purée and blw

this is the sort of schedule I’m trying to follow. My LO is on 5 bottles atm but I’m wondering whether to drop one as she has 2 meals a day (mainly purée) and eats all of everything offered!
When doing BLW does your little one eat it all? Or just explore? X

honestly I feel you!! My little one is on purées and I try and do BLW but she doesn’t really enjoy it however we have moved up to 7 month+ food and also making our purées chunkier and she’s been fine although the occasional gag…inside I’m freaking out but I have to reassure her 🤣x

milk at 8am,12pm,5pm & 10pm. Meals at 10am & 2pm
Today he had Greek yoghurt, strawberries & banana puffs this morning.
And this afternoon he’s had avocado on toast with cheese & apple, pear & spring green purée
Was still hungry after that and is now having some tomato baby crisps😂😂
He eats everything!! Even his milk🐷

I’ve got a hungry baby too… she has weetabix with fruit mixed in for breakfast and she had casserole and a yoghurt for lunch 🤣 plus her milk throughout the day!!! 🤣dunno where they put it all!

Commenting for all the mums reading and worrying their babies aren’t picking weaning up quickly enough… I have an EBF baby who quite simply isn’t interested in food, no matter how/when it’s offered! The only time she’s interested is when she’s on our laps and tries to grab whatever we’re eating, otherwise in her highchair she couldn’t care less. 🤣🤣 I’m certain she’ll get there eventually, then these routines will be useful for us. 😄 xxx

I agree! Some children just aren’t interested and every child is completely different! Xx

definitely! My now 5 year old was the opposite. 🤣 I’m half tempted to let Sophie eat whilst sitting in one of our laps to start with as it’s the only time she really seems to show an interest. 😵💫 x

He has one proper meal of solids at lunchtime however we offer finger food etc with every meal we have as I want him to learn to eat with us and get used to different flavors and textures (although most of his finger food ends up on the floor 😂)

finger foods are fed to the dogs in this house apparently 🙄🤣

same here! My dog has found her new favorite spot under the highchair since we started weaning 😂

Mine is six and a half and we are on one meal a days

My little man has 2 most days atm.. he has a morning bottle then some toast… he has the odd snack during the day (banana weaning wands, cucumber sticks, fruit) then he has an evening meal with the rest of us (tonight he had chicken and mashed potato, with some cucumber sticks and banana puree) I put a tiny bit of gravy on his chicken and mash but he’s reacted to it (we were trialling soya 🤦🏼♀️)
He also has between 5-8 bottles a day (ranging between 5-7oz) xx

My Lo is on 3 meals a day but we started weaning at 17 weeks so that’s the only reason he’s now on 3 meals we do mostly blw x
