Aaaaah battle of wills with almost 8 month old - plse help
Hi ladies
DD will be 8 months on 17th Oct and she has been eating like a champ since starting solids at 5 months.. however.... since returning from the UK approximately 1 month ago mealtimes have turned into a bit of a battlefield. She's not at all keen on 'textured' (fork mashed) food although she has no problem with eating textured puddings, it's just the savoury stuff she rejects. She will currently have maybe 3 or 4 spoonfuls but takes forever and she is very prone to spitting it all out. Loves finger food and perhaps I started giving her food to hold too early as now I have to wait for her to finish with that to have any chance of shovelling the rest of the meal down! She's a good weight so am not too concerned... yet. I do wonder what's changed though; in despair I have recently started offering her tried and trusted favourites and even those aren't making any headway :( Obviously if I was content to feed her on an exclusive diet of porridge, yoghurt and rice cakes we'd be fine!! Any suggestions as DD is sooooo stubborn and I can't face three food related tantrums a day ;) I should add that she is a lovely, happy, smiling bubba in all other respects and has also just cut her first tooth and has a second coming through (think they're a bit sore but have been giving her calpol and dentinox and she's sleeping well).
Thanks v much for any suggestions!!
