he can't possibly expect you to learnsomething.. HE'LL have to learn it and make some for you then you can decide if it is worth it or not..

Don't be silly! This man gave himself food poisoning several times. Plus, Toasted slices of baguettes, banana and crispy streaky bacon smothered in maple syrup makes my stomach turn! It looked amazing, but I couldn't actually eat it....

thanks mm. have been telling myself that but wasnt working.

a few ladies i know (one with children all my age) kepy saying when he was 4 months why i hadnt started to give him food. and then proceeded to say that all her children and grandchildren took to food no problem etc...

HV also told me that as K had put 2oz on in 2 weeks it was obvious that he wasnt getting enough from his milk and he should be eating loads.... not been back since

stoopid woman :mad: Shes the sort of person who would probably tell me there must be something wrong because Jas was on 3 rather large meals a day at 6 months (she was a greedy wee sod ) and Dylan is on 2 smallish meals and a snack now at 10 months ....

If K is happy and healthy and taking his bottles, then that is all that matters

The whole weaning thing peeves me off anyway. From damaging your baby if you dare to wean before 6 months, to your baby being damaged if they are not eating like a horse at 6 months! Can never bloody win, so tell them all to !!!! off.

Well.. it isn't a race to see who can wean fastest soonest.. so work at his pace..

Miine were 8 weeks, 6 months, 8 months, 4 months, 10 months, 12 months, 11 months and 7 months.. before they had ANYTHING other than milk.. HUGE variation based ontheir needs and stages of development..

Babies don't actually NEED food until they are a year old anyway!!

thanks - seems to be the one thing that grandparents and other mums seem to love to go to me about. bloody weaning. (no-one on here btw, RL friends) and how much their little darling eats and what they eat.

my mum told me yesterday, (i got upset bout it all and rang mum) that even if he takes 2 spoons at a time it all counts. and he will take food when he's ready.

i just get stressed by it all. i start to think that i'm doing something wrong

I saw Kian on wednesday & he just wasn't interested in it. It's nothing you've done wrong :grouphug:
He'll get there when he's ready & then there will be no stopping him!

The only thing you are doing wrong is listening to others!!

I had a friend went on and on and on at me about weaning mine, in the end I said just because she rammed chocolate pudding downthe neck of her 2 months old baby doesn't mean that is right for everyone.. soon shut her up!
