am on week 3 of solids with my 6mo...she's doing really well, loving everything except parsnip so far.i'm giving her 1oz of fruit/veg twice a day (aroudn 8am & 12.30) with 1oz EBM mixed in.
now for the questions!!! ???
when do i start giving a 3rd meal?
when do i increase the 1oz?
when should i start introducing "texture"?
how do i introduce texture?do i use baby rice?pasta? (haven't given her any rice yet)
think that's it for now!!!
thanks in advance!x

I'm afraid I am going to point you in the direction of the FAQs as it was 2 years since I weaned Olly now and I cannot remember the details to be honest with you!

How is she doing with solids now? Taking well to them? I think that is crucial for upping meals and amounts tbh.
Hopefully others can chime in with their experiences too!
-
ya,she's been doing great with the 1oz...except for parsnip,&THB i dont really blame her for that one!!!
-
Great! I *think* that we introduced a third meal and then when that was established look at increasing amounts at each meal. I followed Annabel Karmel's book if you have that?
As for introdusing texture, could you mash foods well instrad of puree? And some very soft finger foods?
-
fingerfoods....i hadnt thought of them!what's worked well for you?
i have the AK book,but she doesn't really mention much re actual amounts!
-
also wondering....it can take her up to 50 mins to finish 1oz food....she is quite happy to take it, chats & babbles,chews the spoon etc during "bites"...is 50mins too long?should i ut her off before that?
-
Can't think what finger foods we had at that age - if any. The BLW thread would be a great starting point for ideas!
Olly was always the slowest eater. I didn't want to apply any presure so just let him take as long as he needed.
