Ā I canāt believe enough time has passed for me to be saying this (Isla will be 6months old next week and I genuinely donāt know how thatās happened!) but weāve started our weaning journey!!!
As with everything in this thing called motherhood, I donāt have a scooby doo what Iām doing and am just trying to relax and go with the flow. I think weāll probably do a mixture of baby lead weaning and purees – until we figure out what works best for us.
The good news is I definitely donāt think Iām going to have any issues getting my little lady on to solids… she seems to like food just as much as her mama does!!
I got a little silicone feeder off amazon which has been an absolute god send!! You literally just pop a bit of whatever food you want in the silicone bit and then give it to them! It has tiny holes in so they can get the flavour and mush it up to swallow without the worry of them choking on any pieces that break off!
As well as that weāve introduced some banana porridge to Islaās diet which she loves!! She mastered using a spoon as soon as she realised there was food on it ššš The only thing thatās been a struggle is she screams when sheās finished it all – so greedy!!!
So fat Isla has tried broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, mash potato, cabbage, courgette, parsnip, red pepper, cherry tomato, cucumber, avocado, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, banana, clementine, lemon (I couldnāt resist… bad mummy!) and her favourite – watermelon!! Sheās liked EVERYTHING so far (not sure how much lemon sheād eat… wasnāt cruel enough to find out š)
I did also give her a finger sized piece of toast… but my heart couldnāt take watching her try to ram it in her mouth!! I got too scared of her choking and took it off her to put in the feeder instead (I know, Iām a wimp… Iāll keep trying!!)
