Please help! LO won't eat
Hiya my LO is 7 months old and I've been weaning him for abuot 6 weeks now. At first he was fine - he took to all the purees, baby rice etc really quickly and I thought I was so lucky! But for the past couple of weeks, whenever I try to feed him with a spoon he just spits it out and blows raspberries, then starts crying. At first I thought it was my cooking, but he does it with jars, too.
He's OK with bread, if I break a bit off and pop it in his mouth he'll eat it quite happily. But its so limiting, so I really need to get the spoon thing sorted. I've tried giving him a few lumps in his food, but he's just the same. Then when I take him out of his high chair he'll be nuzzling at my breasts for some milk.
Should I reduce the amount of milk he's having?
Any advice would be very welcome! Thank you xxxxx )

try rubbing teething gel onto his gums 20 mins before feeding and see if that makes a difference.

Sorry to gate crash ur post but i'd like to know bout ur advice 2 xxx
Apparently my older sister was the same.
If you're really worried about choking though, test what foods he's okay with. I can't give my LO chicken, he's too eager to swallow and chokes! He can manage sausage and burger but not chicken ... maybe when he has teeth lol
Ollie has a meal i make up of veg and meat puree, then also has a mini meal of everything we eat, so if were having steak and chips he has some steak and a few chips...
he loves peas, and carrots, anything really that he can eat himself - and its just like making a bit extra food when i cook.
Ollie blows raspberries when eatin now, and i cant help but laugh at him.
Ollie also managed to feed himself with a spoon today for th first time, i showed him a few times how to scoop out the moussem then left him to it. It was messy but he managed it
