Does anyone else feel like they’re not really progressing with weaning? My LO will eat but she’s not really eating what I would call a substantial amount? If that’s even a thing at this stage 🤷🏻♀️ I know “food before one is just for fun”, but then what happens when you reach one and baby still isn’t really interested?!
At a guess I’d say she’ll eat about a tablespoon of solids per meal, is this enough?

My LO is exactly the same!

Same here! We’re still on purées as she just doesn’t want solids or to feed herself. Doesn’t help that she’s teething so bad so even milk is a battle but I am curious as to when she’ll really get into it 🤷🏻♀️

Mine won’t even take anything. This morning I tried him with baby cereal and blueberries but he screamed down the whole street. I’m not bothered anymore because I’ve never seen an adult that doesn’t eat
it’s a relief to hear that mine isn’t the only one! But at the same time I’m kinda wondering when she’s going to start taking an interest 😒 I think I worry for all the wrong reasons sometimes, maybe it’ll just happen when they’re fully ready!
we skipped the puree stage as she just wasn’t having any of it… but blw still isn’t going that well. I’m curious too! Doesn’t help my worry when I read posts of babies eating really well and there’s me wondering where I’m going wrong 🫠 we also went through a stage of decreased feeds because of teething and it was tough! We’re through that now and I had hoped she’d get into it or atleast be more interested in trying new things but it’s still the same really 😬 I guess it’ll just happen at some point! 🤷🏻♀️
oh no! It’s difficult sometimes. I spend so much time some days preparing different things just to spark interest but my baby couldn’t care less 😅 but yeah that’s true! I’m going to try and stop stressing as much

I’m also just doing blw, I find after 5 minutes she gets quite frustrated in the high chair and starts banging the food/playing with it rather than putting it to her mouth so I’m guessing with time it’ll come. Like someone said, all adult eat and 4 months is still a long time for them to get a grasp on it. I used to worry a lot about it and still do sometimes but I just think she will start eating one day x

Mine was exactly the same for ages, I found she preferred breakfast so would just focus on that being a good balanced meal and not worry about the rest of the day, a couple of weeks ago she suddenly started eating more and I think this is linked to her crawling/trying to walk and needing the energy now. There's still plenty of time before 1!

A portion size is literally the size of their hand so they really don’t need alot :)

Mine isn't fussed either, we're doing a combo of blw and purees but she's not bothered about either! Thought she'd love weaning as she loves her milk
mine is the same. She’ll initially show a bit of interest but it’s more of a game to her. But then I guess exploring textures etc and playing with the food is progress too. And yeah you’re right, 4 months is nothing in the grand scheme of things. It’ll come, I need to stop stressing and take my own advice 😅 x
that’s a really good idea actually. I may give that a go rather than focus on too much and overcomplicate things. And like you say, there’s still time for things to progress!
that’s reassuring to know, thank you! :)
I had the same thought. My little girl has always taken big feeds and I just assumed she’d be more interested in solids 🫠
