It's been about 3 weeks now. I'm doing a mix of BLW and spoon fed. So far, he doesn't appear to be swallowing anything. He'll have a chew on things I hand him but mostly drops them or rubs the table with them. If I try to spoon feed him he opens his mouth and it all falls out. Or he spits it out. After a couple of spoonfuls he won't open his mouth any more anyway so I can't get any more in.
And the MESS. Oh God the MESS!
I just end up binning the stuff I make for him as he won't actually consume any of it. Spooning stuff in only for him to dribble it all back out is frustrating and a bit demoralising.
Is this normal? He's still on the same BF routine he always was. I don't feel I can cut it back as he'll starve!
