Please help ladies. my lo started weaning at 6 months and has pretty much refused puree since day one so blw really seemed good for us so have been offering a variety of foods ssince but although he has been playing and sucks, chews everything he is given, he screams in frustration during the whole thing. his screams are worse if he drops something down or cant quite chew it well etc and i am starting to find the process very distressing. I cant feed him out the house as its sooo stresful. any tips?? Thanks xx
Hi,
I googled this and found a similar thread on another site - the answers to the thread all seem to indicate that the baby just wasn't quite ready to wean.
Milk feeds are still the mainstay of a BLW baby, so maybe just leave it a week and try again, and then weekly after until your son seems happier? There's no rule to say that all babies are ready at exactly 6 months, so I think you can trust him to decide when he is ready! The motto of BLW is "food is fun until one", so you've got lots of time for him to get used to the idea.
