weaning

hey! my bubba is 6months and we have been weaning for a few weeks now. She’s showing no interest in anything really, the only thing she’ll happily eat is banana porridge or she’ll suck on some of those melt in your mouth things. Whenever i try with anything else she just refuses to open her mouth after the first bite. Is it bad if i just keep giving her banana porridge everyday to get used to it? i’ll also offer her something else just so she’s not only eating that but i want her to learn to eat and banana porridge seems to be the only thing she will!

I’d give baby led weaning a go, solid starts on instagram is a great resource (although a little American) but letting baby feed themselves gives them the choice on what they taste and I found it really fun

Food is for fun at this age, her milk is her main sauce of nutrition, so I’d definitely try baby led weaning so things she can hold in her hand to suck on, like a chicken drum stick or a long slice of cucumber cut long ways so she can hold, the bigger the piece the less likely she is to choke for example:

This is an ap called solid starts, you can search any type of food and it will tell you how to serve it based on your baby’s age.. or if you should even serve it at all! It’s really good x

thank you so much xx

Same. I’m doing BLW and purées sometimes he prefers actual food and I offer purées 2 times a day so far so good

Mine is the same. She started on pures which was fine until her tooth started to cut through. Since then she doesn't want a spoon in her mouth but happy with food she can eat herself

she still doesn’t out the food near her mouth though😣just plays with it for ages

@Mia that’s ok let her play with it, she will probably soon get curious and put it into her mouth and if not put it in her hand and put her hand to her mouth so she gets a little taste on her lips maybe and go from there, she’s still only so young could take months before she’s properly interested, promise you milk is there main sauce of nutrition food is just for fun at her age x
