Hi
Ive started to offer my 21 week old basic foods as she appeared to be more hungry than usual and was waking more in the night, and so far it has gone well. We started with baby porridge, baby porridge with fruit, pureed vegetables and she likes juicy fruits and cucumber to suck on. We have been doing the food with her now for about 2 weeks, she doesn't have it every day, just when it fits into her schedule and usually only one meal a day either breakfast or lunch, her breast feeds are the same.
Over the last couple of days when I spoon the food into her mouth she immediately puts her thumb in to suck it. She is a thumb sucker anyway so this isn't entirely unusual, I tried to hold her hand away and she spits the food out now if she can't use her thumb??
Why is she suddenly doing this?
Thanks
Natalie
