7 + months lumpy food
in Baby
How does your lo get on with it. When she has the jars 4+ months she gets on fine, she's almost 9 months now and when she has the 7+ ones she reaches into her mouth and grabs the little lumps out instead of chewing them!! lol, She does this with home-made too, as I can't get it as smooth as it is in the jar! How do I get her out of this, it's messy and sometimes she chokes on the lumps! ? xox

Grace was a bit like this, always gagging on the lumps.
what jars is she on?
i put Grace on Boots organics and she was much better as the lumps dont seem as big and she manages them much better.
i also tried ellas kitchen which are more textured tham lumpy

I find the Ella's Kitchen stage 2 really good there are lumpys but soft ones and Alf copes better than say the HIPP stage 2 as the lumps in those are like little cubes-a massive jump from stage 1! Ella's Kitchen are great Alf loves the fish pie and vegetable bake with lentils!
Just like yoru lo, cole is fine with finger food so I do wonder if some of it is a control thing - like he knows what he's putting in his mouth with finger food so he's ok with it but when we feed him he doesn't know.
I might just try the ellas kitchen stuff though. Also, cole has been ok with some stage 2 babylicious food - but they dont sell it in the asda near me so i can't get it easily.
Also - on suggestion from his keyworker at nursery - we are going to start crumbling a biscotti biscuit in his yoghurt to get him used to the texture of lumps with something that'll go very soggy. she says she tried it a couple of years ago with a little girl who wouldnt eat lumps and within 2 weeks she weas fine.
At least she's picking the lumps out.. cole's latest is food filled raspberries - which is better than gagging and puking! Not fun
Its awful what our lo's have to suffer with teething isn't it.
Tiger lily - I guess its one of those things isn't it - some babies do some things better than others just to give us mummies something to worry about! I saw you'd posted a bit back about worrying about gabe not rolling and stuff - theres always something to worry about isn't there. I meant to reply but forgot- i often read stuff while i wait for cole to fall asleep but don't ttype so it doesnt disturb him, and hten i forget ot reply! My friends little boy didn't even crawl till 18 months old - just sat on the floor like a lump and occasionally bum shuffled. he's 2 1/2 now and running around like a loon!
