Crying and/or shouting when having food?

golcarlilly · Mar 1st, 2010, 06:12 AM

Myles has started to shout or cry when I try and feed him over the last week, he doesn't seem to like the purees any more (even the ones he loved) and he loves to drink water out of his sippy cup and cries when I take it away - is he just becoming independant and wanting to feed himself and should I just progress onto finger foods and/or bits of our food do you think?

TIA x

I'm having exactly the same with Katie she seems to want to eat her own food.
Yesterday instead of blending her sunday dinner I put it all out on her highchair and she picked it up and ate it she loved every bit.
I don't think I could fully blw but will do a bit of both i'm going to to start giving her what we have for dinner and keep her puree's for lunch.

I tried giving Myles what we were having for tea tonight as DH was home early so gave him some baked salmon, new potatoes, carrots and broccoli and we all sat down together but he just mushed it all up and threw it around and cried

he wouldn't eat any of it even when we tried to feed him with it so I then mashed some of it up for him and he did eat some but not loads, I am getting so disheartened by this weaning lark!

He will always eat sweet things no problem

obviously the introducing veg purees first didn't work!!!!!

AAAAAARGH sorry just needed a mini rant!

My LO does cry sometimes when I try and feed him but I think for Sam it's just bad timing on my part as i haven't made sure he's not tired. If Sam is tired he's a right moody bum!! So I just wait and try again after he's had a nap.

Could it be that or does it seem to be specifically the food he's getting distressed at?

He does it whether he is tired or not

I asked the hv today and she says it prob is to do with independence and to try and let him feed himself and help him too so I am going to try a combination of finger food and mashed/peices and see how we go, he had a potato waffle and beans for lunch and really enjoyed it, he fed himself the waffle cut into pieces and I gave him the beans

He did it again yesterday when DH was giving him pasta with bolognese sauce but he ate his sandwiches fine for lunch, it is either when he doesn't like it or when he wants to feed himself - independant lil monkey!
