DD doesn't seem interested in anything other than breakfast

We've been weaning for 2 months and recently upped her to 3 meals a day. However I would say that the only 'established' meal of the day is breakfast. She LOVES banana porrige and has that most mornings, or she'll have Weetabix.

Dinner was the second meal if the day introduced. Started off on puréed vegetables and now try to give her proper meals (tend to use Annabel Karmel recipes mostly). Again these are puréed.

Lunch I try to do BLW so'll give her things like eggy bread (cut into fingers), dairylea toast fingers, scrambled egg, humus and veg.

The last few weeks she's not been interested in anything other than her breakfast! She may 'honour' me with the odd mouthful of something at lunch or dinner but that's if I'm lucky!

I know she's getting what she needs from her milk feeds but feel there's something in maybe missing??? Plus she no longer has the desire to hold the spoon. She just wants me to feed her.

I find it hard knowing what to make her as well as fitting it all in, but the fact she doesn't seem interested is making it harder.

Any suggestions?

How old is she?

As long as she's under 12 months and still taking plenty of milk, she doesn't need lots of solids. She'll take it when she wants it, basically.

DS didn't eat anything resembling 'proper' amounts of solids until he was nearly 1. Before that it was just mucking about - he wasn't bothered. He's a strong and healthy 7 year old now.
