LO is 8 months old and been on stage1 jars for 3 months, i do offer finger foods but he seems to play with them more than eat them.
I have tried offering stage 2 jars but he is just sick or gets so worked up about having to do some chewing i have actually had the neighbour "pop" round to check if we were ok???!!! I have had the nursery nurse (HV doesnt do home visits so sent the NN) visit and she says that he should really be able to take some stage 2 food as he has been on stage1 so long.
She suggested only giving him finger foods for a week to see how it goes and to encourage more chunks. This started yeaterday am (couldnt bare the thought over the weekend) he has porridge every morning i have then only offered finger foods and milk. I had to give in this pm and give him a stage 1 jar as he hasnt eaten anything apart from the 2 am porridges.
He either takes no notice of the finger foods or throws a hissy fit when i offer it to him, poor little thing is hungry which is why i gave in but should i try and stick to what the Nursery Nurse told me? She watched him with some cucumber and a rusk and said that he is developed enough to be able to eat those sorts of things but is just being lazy.
The screaming is really getting to me, OH and me hardly ever fight but have argued 3 times in 2 days so i really need some advice on what to do. I have asked for a call back from Nursery Nurse today but she was unavailable.
Anyone else having problems or can offer any advice??????
