stage 3?
hi ladies
just wondering if i can pick ur brains a little....
austin will be 9 months on the 21st and so far i make his dinners up to same sort of consistency as a stage 2 jar, but thing is far a while now he's not really even chewing that, he just sort of slurps it off the spoon now and it goes straight down lol (gannet lol) so i was wondering whether i cld try making it consistency of stage 3, but they say these are for 10months, so not sure really, he's fine with finger food and tbh only finger food he can't eat yet is chunks of meat (well he might be able to but i hjaven't tried yet)
so just wondered what u thought? i've looked at them and tbh they don't seem to be much lumpier bnut maybe i'm wrong and need to wait
hope ur all well xxxx

Got to go give my non-sleeping baby a cuddle. She won't settle
Well, since I started weaning Daisy, she's pretty much had whatever we've had.
She has quite severe reflux and would just projectile vomit everything back when we tried puree for the first few days. Spoke to HV who said not to worry and just give her whatever we were having - so we did!
If she's going to have any jars, I always get Stage 3, but also buy Stage 4 as well - which is teaching her to chew more... Can't remember when Austin was born, but Daisy is not yet 9 months (24th) and has been having the Stage 3 jars since about 6.5 months! She is really good with her finger food too, and has learnt the gag reflex thing well. I think it's actually really important to get them onto solids quite quickly - I have a friend who weaned early and her LO would gag on absolutely everything because she had puree for so long...
Give it a go - good luck!

Freya has got to the point where she won't be spoon fed unless she has some of her own portion to 'eat' herself (she has a spoon but uses her fingers and chews the spoon from all angles!).
i agree mrs buttons, we went on to stage 2 before he was 7 months as he was coping fine with finger food etc so didn't see why not, and wanted to help encourage him to be able to eat textured stuff with out fussing over it.
thanks again xx
