Hi,
My first post on this forum.
My DS is just coming up to 6 months and weaning is a bit of a problem.
We first started trying him on baby rice about 6 weeks ago. For a week, he was fine but then started clamping his mouth shut and turning his head every time we tried to feed him.
The same week, he cut his first teeth so we put it down to this and stopped for a few days.
After that, he never seemed interested so we kept leaving it a few days and trying again.
Finally, about 10 days ago, he started taking some pureed apple. We kept him on that for a few days and then started to try other foods.
Problem one is, he has refused every type of veggie we have tried (and thats most of them)
Problem two is that his feeding patten is still very hit and miss. One days he'll take 2-3 desert spoonfuls 2 or 3 times a day. Then the next, he'll barely eat at all. The one thing he seems to enjoy is Petit Filou, but I dont want to get him into the habit of refusing savoury so we offer sweet.
He has always refused a bottle and a dummy and seems to hate having anything put into his mouth.
He is still brestfeeding well.
Should I worry or just keep on trying?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
