Weaning

Do it in the morning or lunch, we find morning the best time personally. Last wake window of the day is generally the hardest due to he so tired x

Main tip is don’t when she’s to hungry or too tired.

But also it’s a big new thing! It takes them a while to pick it up. I gave my daughter a piece of tender stem broccoli last night and she LOVED it, chewing away, turning it around, trying the other end. She ingested precisely 0% of it, it was like I’d given her a teether. They’ve got to learn

I read to start only give max two teaspoons, after they’ve had a bottle I usually wait an hour after milk. Mine like purées but don’t eat the actual bits of food yet just squish it in their hands

With my little one it worked to do something in the morning and evening - I started with offering her baby rice mixed with her milk about 2 hours after her morning bottle which worked a treat for her as it’s a familiar taste! And then I did her second meal during her second to last wake window and offered her a puréed version of the chosen vegetable mixed with her milk to start to get her used to the flavors and then also offered her the whole vegetable to hold and chew on! Has worked really well for her so far and she’s already very used to the routine :)

General advice is 30-60 mins after a milk feed because milk is their main source of nutrients. I usually offer it in the early part of the day so it’s not too heavy on their stomach before sleep. I wouldn’t fight it if you can see she’s tired x

Breakfast or lunch is likely to be a lot easier than the evening. I would offer finger foods as well as puree as some babies just aren't keen on purees. It may also help to manage your expectations. At this age a few spoonfuls is a good amount!

I found breakfast time the easiest and I do an hour after milk feed. There will be days they won’t want anything and days they want everything.
All I will say is follow babies cues, because my LO went days without being interested in food and I thought I would try letting him feed himself and he loves it and so engaged. I also started finger foods and he is now getting on great.
At this age it really is about learning and not actually eating the food.
My LO will be 7 months in a few weeks and he has only now actually started properly eating the spoonfuls.
