Karen I don't know what to do really.
I was happy to try BLW but then the little pickle stopped drinking her milk and started dropping centiles. I was ten told by the doctor and the hv to introduce some whatever kind of purée so I try to mix some milk inside to get some more in her and hopefully to up her calories a little and maybe her her drinking again.
I tried that at 13 and 14 and every week practically. She is just not ready for purées. I will not say weaning because that's not what we want here certainly not to wean her from her milk lol. She Dosent open her mouth for the spoon and she Dosent really swallowing much if you manage to get a spoon in her lol.
Then when she started teething things become even worst so I got a special baby rice from her pediatrician to mix with her milk in her bottle to up her calories a bit. So she has that now before sleep and hopefully she stopped dropping centiles.
I am not sure what to do now?
I should probably try to spoon feed her sth when she will finally want it and give her finger foods too from very early? I already put at every meal that we have all together some food in front of her just for her to play (she barely can pick it never mind put in her mouth lol) she tried some banana while I was holding it and she was making funny faces lol
I left the banana down as my goal was just to make her interested to food not to actually give her a banana and she was keep petting the banana and then licking her fingers lol.
I have a question about mixing BLW with purées. With purées she will practically move the food right on the back of her mouth and swallow it. Finger foods require chewing that happens in the front part of the mouth. Will she figure it out that things have to happen there first before she moves them back and swallow them or she will jus try to do the same with purées.
Hopefully her gag reflex will stop her hit no sure about starting with purées and then give finger food before lump purées?
See I have no idea and I doubt i can ask around as I don't think in Norway there is even the concept of BLW lol.
You know what I am going ahead to buy the BLW book and see what it says there but it's probably a little preachy about BLW so no idea if that will be any helpful?
Ideally ofc would be that she starts drinking her milk, stops dropping centiles so we can eliminate the need of early purées all together and wait until 6 m and BLW but I kind of not seeing that happening...
That turned in a random woe sorry for that.
Looking forward to hear what other goodies gorgeous tilly had for breakfast and ofc pictures are always welcomed!!!! Probably that's the best way to market BLW anyway! Gorgeous buba you have
