Hi
Just hoping someone can give me some advise about weaning. Well not so much weaning, just how I can work with the parents of a 9 month old baby.
Apparently she used to be a great eater. Once meat was added to her diet she went off savoury food completley. So even now without the meat if its savoury she refuses. Shes been coming to me around 3 weeks now. Shes a really great little girl, happy, and calm. Until mealtimes. Shes fine sat in the highchair, fine with a bib on, happy to feed herself toast at breakfast.
Once you have a bowl of food & a spoon she kicks off. So I try to give her a taste, put some on her lips, if its savoury the crying continues, if its sweet she immediatly stops crying & opens her mouth for more!
I think I need to work together with the family, like most people their lives are busy & in an effort to just get her to eat have succumb to her whims and give her those ellies fruit purees half for lunch & half for tea.
I have spoke to them and they are welcome of help. I just dont really know where to start!!! Was thinking of having a x's likes & dislikes sheet in her diary so we can keep a running track between us of whats shes tried & likes.
Any ideas????????
Thank You
