solids

at what age did your baby really become interested in solids? Tom is 7.5 months and is really not interested. We are doing BLW as he refuses to eat from a spoon and gets offered food at least 3x a day- but seriously hardly eats anything.

He is gaining weight nicely so I am not really concerned, but more curious than anything else.

Cameron has only really been interested and eating a lot this week, before now she would taste stuff and smear it around but not really eat.

I think i read somewhere, so could be wrong, that all of a sudden they catch on that food is for when they are hungry and they just start shoveling it down.   This happened with C and i think with Kiara too but you could check with thesaff about that one.

I would just keep offering and he will catch on soon enough, as you say he is happy and healthy and gaining weight.

Hun,

I'm actually glad you've opened a thread about this as I've been considering it for days already. Exact same thing here, BUT nina is even weeks older than tom!!

She gets 3 meals offered a day and she goes mental if we don't offer it, so she wants it but she does not swallow it, IYKWIM?

She plays, she chews, she bites it into a milion bits but she always lets it drop out of her mouth!
We have occasionally a few bits of carrot or sorts in her poos but it's ridiculous.

She is really in the solids routine but she hasn't figured out that she could swallow it, if she swallows it's kind of a mistake.

I'm not sure what to do and I am getting worried but don't want to talk to GP/Plunket as they don't know much about BLW.

Just wanting to let you know we're the same here....
