Hi your help is much needed!
I have a 7 month old baby who was one month prem.
We weaned him on to purees a while ago - earlier than I am happy with now but there was a lot of pressure from HV etc. and worry he was starving. He was breastfed until he was 3 and a half months old... I was desparate to BF him til he was 1 year old but he totally went off it and refused to do it so much against my wishes we had to switch him to formula. This was probably because of problems he had feeding at birth due to being prem some of you may remember earlier threads I posted at the time.
Anyway...
I just can not get him to eat anything. He has formula. And every now and then a proper dinner. When I say proper dinner I mean puree and a sweet puree afterwards.
I cant get him to take breakfast or lunch anymore. He was eating better but then got sick and since then even though he is totally recovered now he just wont eat. Every time I try to feed him it ends in tears, his and sometimes mine. He just doesnt seem to want it.
I have thought of trying BLW but despite a few attempts from friends on MN to explain it to me I really do not understand it. I just dont know what I am supposed to do. I obviously dont want him to choke on anything and developmentally he is only now behaving like a 5 or 6 month old so I dont know if HE can do HIS part of the BLW deal.
Please - whatever your views, come on here, take me by the hand, and tell me, what am I supposed to be feeding my baby????? How do I do it? By the way we are raising him vegetarian. I am open to BLW or any other thing that works, I just want him to eat. Please help. Thanks for reading this.
