refusing puree should i move onto finger foods

leahsbabybump · Apr 7th, 2012, 08:23 AM

soo my lo used ot love her jars of dinner but the past few weeks she has been really off them today she has refused to eat anything sha has had 2 bottles thats it wont have any of her purees ive kept trying her tried differant htings but nothing as soon as i sat dow with my lunch she wanted my sandwich :-/

do you think i should start her with finger foods? she obvs hungry cos she drank 2 full bottles and after more now
what can i give her other than veg and fish :-/
im really worried with finger foods as she has never really been bothered about them in the past and how do i know shes getting enough dinner if im not feeding her last time we tried it it was hard to keep track of what she was having because most of it ended up on the floor or squished in her hands hair and down her front lol i just really worry she wont eat enough if i leave her to her own devicein high chair :-/

any help and advice appreciated thanks

shes almost 10 months old if that makes any differance :-)

we do blw, so it's a bit different, but from what I understand you can just keep offering her food till she doesn't take it anymore and that's how you know she got enough. I figure if she's hungry, she'll let me know. I say go for it with the finger foods.

so with blw do i basically just put her some on a little plastic plate on her high chair tray? what if she just thinks its a toy/game and plays with it :-/ do you think if i sit and eat with her she will copy me she loves copying me with some other stuff she claps with me and shacks her back at me when i say no lol she allways get my fone and put it up to her ear as if shes talking so she gets the grasp of copying me lol

i guess im just really worried she wont eat enough shell be too busy playing with it lol

You have to cut it into strips and not bite sized pieces. Lemme see if I can find some pics for you of Alex

Here is him eating Chicken and Mushroom Risotto. I dunno if you can see the chicken, but it's pretty large
