Weaning - overwhelmed
Show your support
Try not to worry, I’ve been weaning my girl for around 6 weeks now and she’s only recently started to show interest☺️ you just have to keep offering and they’ll pick it up eventually. I always offer yoghurt with a meal as I know this she will eat, the rest she can just play with to get used to it xx
I know it's said so much but it's true, all babies are different and will do things in their own time. You are NOT doing anything wrong, it sounds like the opposite you are doing an amazing job. I have a friend who is a GP her daughter is about 10 months and she's only recently started showing some interest in food. Her mum wasn't bothered and just said some babies want food earlier than others as long as they still want milk it's just a normal baby. You have loads of time for her to become interested, the expectation is really that it's between 10-12 months that they go from having most nutrition from milk to food.... And there is always variation. My LO does want food now but my first one wasn't really interested until closer to 8 1/2 months. As Skye said just keep offering but don't pressure him or you! Probably good to pick a time and be consistent with offering it then and he will at least get used to seeing it. Also doing some BLW so it can be sensory play!
I could have written this myself. My baby is the exact same. Won’t eat purée and with only fry a few finger foods. He barely eats anything in a day let alone 3 meals at this point. He hates his high chair and everything goes in the bin. It’s really hard but hopefully like all the responses above they will take to it soon 🤞🏻
My baby is the same, some days I’m lucky if he’ll have some porridge or puree! Most days not interested at all! Gets stress. Wants out the high chair after 10 minutes max
It’s completely normal, babies are ready for solids in their own time. My son barely eats anything besides milk rn. Absolutely will not have puree or be fed, only finger foods and feeds himself. And by that I mean he spits it all out 😂 Easier said than done but don’t stress about it, just keep offering and don’t pressure him.
