Ds is almost 7 months and gobbles up any mashed up fruit or baby rice, porridge etc with fruit in - mouth open waiting for the next bite, lots of mmmm noises :)
However, he will not entertain any veg. He has taken to making gagging noises, then he keeps his mouth open so you can see he has kept the veg on his tongue an then he pushes it out. Then he will simply refuse any more and get upset if you try to persevere. I usually just stop and then he takes his milk. I'm worried he is getting the message that he doesn't have to eat it. It also means he is going without food.
It doesn't matter what time of day I give the veg, if I make it smoother or anything like that.
So, what do I do? Would really appreciate some advice :) Ds1 was a difficult eater in the toddler years. Well, still is a couple of years later and I can't go through that again.
Oooh, while I'm here when is the best time to introduce breakfast. Ds has no teeth but was really eyeing up my toast this morning :)
