Weaning

Hi guys, so I am a first time mum and really need some advice. My baby is currently 8 months and weighs 7 kg (small for his age).

I started weaning at around 5 months, and we were doing really well. At 6 months we were up to 2 meals, but I struggled to get the third meal in.

He is no not eating at all, it has been a month, and he won’t take any solids in. He won’t even taste the food, he just turns his head away.

I have tried everything, baby led weaning, giving him the spoon, every type of food at different textures and I offer it every 2 hours.

He is breastfed and won’t take a bottle or sippy cup. I am exhausted and frustrated. And my husband is now suggesting store bought baby food containing sugar, just to get him to eat - he can’t afford to lose weight.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
