Shall I keep trying? (weaning)

[Keely]

Hi

Tried Ellis with some baby rice yesterday and he didnt like it, he spat it all out....... so today i tried baby rice and fruit thing mixed together..... he only swallowed about 2 tiny spoons.

Does this happen with all babies or is he not ready?

If he doesn't seem that bothered i would leave it a week or so and try again
Though 2 spoons sounds about right for a start

Try making baby rice really runny, if he is still not fussed i would leave it

i started Jacob earier than the recommended 4 months. He was really interested in us eating. I started by making up a teaspoon of baby rice with his milk - to a yogurt consistency! He took to it right away but then had off days when he didn't want it. I just never forced him... i'd let decide if he wanted it or not. Try some sweet potato or carrot.... the baby rice is a little bland so maybe he doesn't like the taste. I also give jacob creamed oats which he loves and egg custard! I've only given him fruit once and he pulled a face! might be a bit too bitter rather than sweet.

Jamie had baby rice for a couple of weeks then I gave him a rusk & that was it he wouldn't touch the baby rice again, can't balme him , its revolting!
I would wait a few days then try him again.

thanks for your replies girls, the only reason i am trying now too is the last two nights he has been waking more in the night.

Probally bad but I dipped my finger in baked bean juice a few days ago and he was licking it??!!

I never found the rice that much of a hit. A hit with Joe is the Heinz Banana breakfast and the oaty porridge. It sounds like he might not be just ready, maybe a few more weeks.

I'd leave him another couple of weeks as the others have suggested. You don't want to wean him if he's not ready.

I started Isaac on baby rice and he took to it OK. I gave him that for a couple of weeks before giving him pureed veg and now he's on pureed fruit for mid morning and veg at lunch time.

I'm taking things slowly with him but I have to say he loves his food. Time for some new veggies me thinks

He took some carrott yesterday he was still pulling faces haha but he swallowed it, he doesnt seem to be suffering with a belly ache etc so i think he is ok but just fussy
