Just a thought. Have you tried giving food in a non mealtime approach? Like during playtime while he's on his playmat? Almost like a sensory okay experience rather than getting him to eat, this might just mix it up for him and take the pressure off for you. It's horribly stressful though isn't it and so hard to not compare yourself to others. He'll get there when he's ready though ❤️❤️ xx

My 8 month old likes Ella's kitchen melty sticks... but i never force it, she will pick her milk over thing else evey time. So I have to give her the stick and make the bottle in secrete, otherwise the second she sees the bottle... that is it. All she wants is that lol All children are different, and your little one will be ready in their own time. Keep trying, but don't force it. They'll get there eventually x

The only meal we have on lock at the moment is breakfast, he will always eat porridge or Weetabix and yogurt in the morning but dinner is a hit and miss. I’m really struggling with weaning with this one! He has no interest in eating really either!

Same here, she’s not keen anymore. She was when she was 6-7months. But by 7.5months she wasn’t interested. Now I just give her bits here and there, but not in a meal time setting and she likes that , she could be snacking on cucumber whilst playing or biscuit or tangerine. But if I sit her down to eat like a meal, she hates it. So try that, just give bits of food whilst his awake and playing.
