Hi, I'm a first time mum and my daughter is 6 months old. I started weaning her at 5 months and she was doing really well on 3 meals of puree a day (I didn't know about the BLW until I started reading the posts on here.) I took her to the Health Visitor yesterday and she said that Georgia is slightly under weight and I should be giving her bigger quantities of lumpy food with snacks in between. She made me feel like I was being cruel to my daughter! When I got home I tried her with some banana which she spat out, I've sinced tried her with a jar of stage 2 puree, the result being that she gagged, screamed then refused to eat anything at all. The jar says from 7months. I am worried that meal times will become a battle or that Georgia will be scared of food. It was really upsetting and I feel like I gave no idea what I'm doing. I can't get to see the HV very often and feel very alone (I'm a single Mum)I'd be really grateful for any advice.
