New to this & tips
We had major life stressors happen that slowed us from BLW & bad guidance we followed from the pediatrician so we are where we are. 12 mo, barely eats anything, on GOAT toddler drink formula, hasn’t tried cows milk or regular goat milk. Has only eaten 3 serenity pureed pouch foods (2 squash blends, one with bison) & applesauce.
Started to prepare food & feed before bottle in the AM but it’s not gone well. And after reading 1/2 way thru Rapley’s BLW book I can’t find anything that says we should be feeding LO hungry at 12mo. LO is not satisfied by the toddler drink anyways and cries when it’s done. When we have tried feeding LO from our lap and the plate we’re eating off of this past week, LO actually fed us the food but won’t put anything to their lips & tosses head away. We have stopped trying to make her taste the food even to their lips.
Thoughts are to keep LO on the toddler drink the next two months, keep trying foods & using pouch if it doesn’t seem to work but only for lunch & dinner & then gradually work breakfast in. LO has not tried to chew anything but always does the motion when they see us eating. We are trying different texture foods. Am I missing a concern about anything here? Like I said we are where we are because of unchangeable circumstances rn
Any other helpful tips welcome; please be kind I’m almost full term with their sibling
