Solids are stressful.
Okay, I'm at a total loss.
I'm a FTM to a 13m son and we've had a lot of hurdles when it comes to solids. We've come so far but each meal is still SUCH a struggle, I end up in tears and so does he (thankfully not at the same time lol).
We've consulted an OT to reintroduce solids to him after a 3 week hiatus around 7m due to travel, sickness and unwillingness. Flash forward to now, we're still breastfeeding 3 times a day, while also providing 5 "solid opportunities" to him. That being said, he probably only eats the equivalent to a snack sized portion a day and it's driving me nuts. He's dropped 30 percentiles from 9m to 12m and while the doctor isn't concerned, I am- lol.
We eat with him, he eats what we're eating, we limit the time in the highchair to 15-30 minutes, we sing songs and interact with him, give him a variety of flavours and textures, we've tried not feeding in the high chair... it feels like we've tried everything.
This guy is so damn picky, right now we're really struggling with protein right now... he truly only loves sweet potato, baguettes and the boob.
I'd love love love to hear any tips or tricks, ride or die recipes and or solidarity stories...
