I started weaning Logan at 13 weeks after he refused to eat for two days. He was only have a tiny sip then would cry. He suffers from reflux quite bad but he is on ranitidine for this. I was unsure but after the lack of milk he had taken I decided to mix some porridge with his normal milk and see what he thought. He absolutely loved it! And kept pulling the spoon to his mouth. He only had a couple of spoons for his first try but then straight after he drank 5oz of milk!! More than he would normally drink. Then he stopped drinking again that day so the next morning I did the same. More milky porridge and he drank his milk again and every bottle that day! So happy with it I thought I would stick to a routine and have milky porridge every morning. Then after a week I introduced evening porridge as his pudding but in the evening I gave him a flavoured porridge and he loves it so much and then goes straight to bed in his cot and straight to sleep. I did this for another week before I started introducing lunch. For lunch so far this week Logan has tried mixed veg blended which he didn't like at all. Broccoli blended which he loved! Carrots blended which he was ok with but it took some convincing! Lol and sprouts he hated!!! He kept gagging so that's a no no I think. I'll try again but he might just take after his mummy. (The poop after the sprouts stunk!!!)
So right now he's having porridge with his morning milk. (Milk is always offered first so the food is just a top up on what he already has as he now drinks his bottles properly without needing food first.) then he has blended vegetables for lunch and porridge for supper. I am going to become more creative over the next few weeks so I will do a weaning update!!
Today Logan had blended potato with carrot and broccoli and it didn't go down the best but he ate it all so that's a good sign right?
