Utensils and cups
I have a nearly 9 month old, we have been doing blw since he was 6,5 months old. He never liked purees and doesn't like any kind of spoon in his mouth. He only nibbles at the handle. We have Numnum baby spoons, silicone and plastic spoons in different shapes... I think it might be the texture of the food... any similar experiences? He even started to refuse toast if there is something smeared on it so my only options are fruit and veggie spears and fusilli with sauce. Maybe an omelette and meat on bone. He doesn't like crumbly food like muffins either. Has anyone been through this? Did anything help?
I was thinking a pacifier type feeder, although he is getting old for that or pouches, but we tried store bought pouches, he doesn't let me put it in his mouth and as soon as he grabs it it all spills out. He already has a pincer grasp but is very picky with finger foods too.
He doesn't have anything against cups and really likes water, but can't drink out of anything other than open glass. And he chews on that too, so most of the water ends up on the tray and I have to hold it up. He has a cup with silicone spout and a magic cup type one. He is breastfed and never used a bottle.
I ordered a B.box straw cup, but it came with a broken straw, so I am unsure if it is worth reordering. Any recommendations?
