weaning not going as expected
My little man, showed all the signs of being ready, a few days before he turned 6 months we started off with purees and it was going well, then moved on to mashed and textured food, he was not a fan and would not eat much. I since have started BLW and will offer 2 meals a day with a variety and still include purees.
But he will not put anything in his mouth, he will grab the food, squeeze it in his hands look at it, play and then throw it on the floor, if i try put anything in his mouth he will put his lips together and move his head.
I am a little worried as he is not eating anything.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Yeah as Ebony-Rose said, it’s just for fun and exploring new tastes and feeling the food, not about eating an actual meal. My baby wasn’t super interested, then started doing well recently and now isn’t really eating again but she has a new tooth coming through x
I understand that its for fun and i am aware that baby’s milk is the main source, my concern is that he does not attempt to try any of the foods, not blw or purees.

Food before 1 is for fun. BLW is messy. Its also very fun for baby and really good for fine motor skill development. As long as baby is still having plenty of BM/formula you dont need to worry. Theyll eat when theyre ready If you are worried about solid intake you can do a combination of BLW and spoon fed, it doesnt have to be one or the other x
