Weaning

My baby won't put anything in her mouth herself but just in the last week she started to allow me to feed her. Just happened all of sudden, she was refusing anything before that. I was ready to give up so all I can suggest is keep going!

Same as Sophie. Our LB (turned 8 months last week) refused to eat anything up until one week ago! It was so frustrating making meals and they would all end up in the bin 🙈 Then one day last week, he just decided he was ready to eat anything! I was so shocked 😂 I was the same, ready to pull my hair out but keep going and one day it just seems to click!!

Thanks so much girls, you’ve put my mind at ease!! I literally left the kids with their dad earlier and I went upstairs and had a hot bath to try and relax about it 😂 I will keep offering foods and hopefully he will just start. X

One of my close friends didn’t manage to start weaning her LB until 10 months, he’s almost a year now and absolutely fine and loves his food ☺️ she just kept going and got there in the end! Xx

Aww don’t stress ! I also felt the same mine wasn’t eating and refusing so bad I was feeling pure mum guilt. But my baby was teething really bad which explained his lack of interest in food.

Hey my lg doesn’t wet anything g either purées or blw it’s soooo frustrating hope it changes soon

My little man is teething so I found those carrot puff sticks really useful to get him used to hand to mouth, and he really enjoys them worth a shot 🤷🏻‍♀️

My little girl was not having anything until a couple of weeks ago that I started to give her the melty sticks. As soon as she started having them and herself putting them in her mouth she is now accepting food. She doesn't really let me spon feed her it's more like from my hands and every now and then she also feeds herself but it was a big change from just throwing everything on the floor.

My 8 month old is the same! But in the last few days he’s putting things in his mouth and chewing - not much is actually going down but I think it’s a start. He absolutely hates purées so I’m giving up with those and going with BLW. It is really stressful though, I was getting upset about it too so you’re not alone! They’ll be eating us out of house and home soon I’m sure :)

Do you sit all together and eat your meals? Would the little one see you all eating chewing etc etc? This can help to raise their curiosity! I did BLW with my first one- but this time mainly pure feeding- started with Ella’s recipes and moved now to Annabelle Karmel - works for us- but we all eat together- I think this helps.
