A friend of mine, we'll call her Paula, is going through a really tough time with feeling awful as she is struggling to introduce solids to her 8.5 month old DS.
With our DS who is 7.5 months I do 4 hourly feeds and so I offer solids around an hour and a half after his feed.
Paula is feeding her son every hour or so as he requires, and he just refuses baby food. I have suggested maybe try BLW just to get him used to the texture and feel, but I honestly don't really know as this is just my first son.
I kind of think with the way we are doing it DS is maybe a little hungry by the time we offer solids, where as for Paula every time he sons bottom lip quivers it's on the boob.
Any suggestions welcome as she is really quite down about it, and also when she does manage to get any food into him it seems to completely block him up and will pooh a nugget every few days so she has pretty much given up for now.
Any ideas?
