Lumpy Food!

[kaitlyns mammy]

My baby wont eat lumpy food gags & spits it out! What do I do?? Feel very stressed out from this she will eat finger food Organicx crisps & rice cakes but her dinners she wont eat them unless they are pureed down! What do I do??

if she eats finger foods thats great, why bother with the lumpy stage at all? have you thought about "baby Led weaning"?, do a search on here & theres tons of info. i din't do it coz freddie didn;t do finger food at all without gagging etc, so we carried on with puree for months. good luck.

Sometimes mixed consistency is hardest for them, give lots of things she can do herself. She will get used to it x

I think the flavours maight have been a bit to strong 4 her & the mince I did try blend it down still trying to keep it a bit lumpy! MAybe in a couple of months ill try it again & just keep the flovours of the food simple X

I had similar problem when introduced lumpy food so started mixing textures. At each meal I would give my baby purred meat and lumpy veg. Did a trick with my baby.

Good luck
