Hi and a thousand thanks for your lovely words - it really means so much to me!
Lisa, I think you are right, I certainly am so overly obsessed about what/how long/if he is eating, I really do need to take in some deep breaths! Although he has just come down with a horrible cough/cold, he is still happy and active, and I need to remember that this is important.
I went to the GP who was very supportive. She also told me to not worry 7 weeks too early, but to do this a couple of days before I go back to work! She also told me to carry on doing what I was doing several weeks ago - feed on demand, let him take the lead, and don't worry about the solids thing too much, but to go down the BLW route instead! She thinks that he does not know what is going on with me trying to put him on a routine type thing, as I have always followed his lead (FOD, co-slept etc). I've basically carried him around in a sling for the last 7 months, and enjoyed every second. I think I have made myself miserable by trying to do the "normal" thing with him (ie a routine!).
He is still not feeding too well, and won't eat any solids, but I keep trying to say to myself surely he would if he were hungry??
Not going to get him weighed today, as don't want to stress myself out if he hasn't gained or even lost a bit!?
I am so mentally fragile sometimes it's scary. I hope this will all sort itself out? A few weeks ago I was feeling so smug that my baby would try anything, was good on textures and everything was going okay! Not sure why this has changed?!
Thanks again - you ladies are just wonderful!
