I waited to wean my 6-month-old as per current health advice. She's quite happy to eat, but flat refuses a spoon. I can feed her with my fingers sometimes, but she is beginning to refuse that as well. She wants to do it herself!
So far I've been feeding her small pieces of cheese, scrambled eggs (well cooked), avocado, peeled grapes, melon balls, peas, small bits of tuna sandwich and macaroni cheese (she really doesn't like bananas).
I know that I'm technically ahead of the game having a little one feeding herself already, but I'm really worrying about her eating enough. I'm also running out of ideas for foods that she can manage with no teeth, but which also stand up to beigh squished in baby fingers first.
None of my other mommy friends have this problem & the health visitor doesn't seem to take it seriously, but she really isn't eating very much.
