Ds is coming up to 9 months old and we have been doing purees mostly with some blw too. He was a great eater and are everything. I tried to do a wide variety of things and he would gobble spoon after spoon until the big tubs were gone. My Nct friends were amazed at how good to he was.
Then few Weeks ago he started getting harder and would throw his arms around and not open his mouth. But I found if he saw me eating it or I managed to get some in his lips he would them think umm this is nice and eat it no problem.
However this no longer working and he refuses the spoon. I dread most mealtimes now. He refuses the veg purees which I made more of because he loved them so much. Or after a battle will have a few spoonfuls where he's opening his mouth in anticipation for the good and then after a few for no reason will refuse anymore. Yet when I give him something sweet like yoghurt he will gobble it up and cry when it's finished. I tried making other purees as thought perhaps he wants more variety but apart from one which he happily ate he refuses them all.
I really don't understand why. Several people have said teeth which could be true but then sometimes he will take the spoon.
I really don't want to do blw. I don't like not knowing how much he's had and he used to eat a big tub of puree yet has hardly any if done in chunks. I think surely this can't be enough if he wanted s whole pot of puree.
I am so frustrated I end up getting angry with him (obviously not hurting him) and have forced the spoon into his mouth which I know is wrong. I feel like I ve done something wrong with his weaning.
