Please help me anyone. I am now beginning to be at my wits end. have 7mth DD who started weaning fine then 3 wks in decided to cut 3 teeth at the same time, 2 of which were top teeth - not nice. went off food - which was alright just got on with the milk - again no concern or need for stress. However we have never really gone back to food. Now through my going back to work, my mum has her 3 days a week and the nursery for 2 days none of us can get her to take solids because she now clamps her teeth ( we have 8) tightly shut. we have given her a spoon - helped at first but she is too clever! she can even smile winningly at you without opening her mouth! She does not want to take food off the spoon or off the finger. Have tried fringer foods but she bites a piece off and spits it out. Please help me any advice???
Nursery just say persevere and put her on 3 meals a day with small bottles in between and force the food in - any less dramatic remedies or idea would realy be welcom as am really becoming increasingly worried that this is such a problem = please help
ps: HV no use (there's a surprise!) told her the problems and she wrote in my book weaning going very well!!!
