Hi,
My DD turned 6 months last week- we have been interested in doing BLW and introduced some foods to her a few weeks ago- banana, cucumber, avocado. She initially enjoyed kind of playing around and maybe even bringing some to her mouth but never swallowed anything. Then recently, she swallowed a piece of banana or avocado and FREAKED OUT. Screaming crying, fighting against the highchair straps, had to get out ASAP. Since then, she has not been interested in foods at all, and rather hates being in her high chair. I've tried her on my lap, etc but with very limited success. We took a break from foods and tried again- still upset. We tried purees, some mashed, etc, and nothing. She cries every time! Now I'm worried she's not getting enough iron, etc and she's hungry more frequently- I didn't think it would be this hard! I'm thinking of getting one of those floor seats with a tray to see if she prefers that (she is small so she can't reach the top of the high chair tray as well as I would like...)
Does anyone have a similar experience? Should I stick with BLW or try pureed some more? Should I offer multiple times a day?
Thanks!!!!
