Lucas wants to be a Big Boy

At 6 months, i`ve started Lucas on solids. At first i thought that since maybe he doesn`t really drink much milk, maybe he`d prefer solids and would LOVE it...how wrong i was...he hates cereal and anything pureed...i tried this many times, and once the spoon was near his mouth, he refuses to open. So i have to wait n wait, and put the spoon into his mouth and he`d make that yucky face...and shudder...so i thought maybe it`s the cereal..i tried pureed pumpkin and fruits...same reaction, he refuses to budge....sigh...

And believe me he is interested in foods, he tries to snatch things that i eat and stares at Gabe`s snacks when he`s eating them. So, few days ago, i tried to give him banana, this time i just cut it into small itsy bits...yup, he opens his mouth to eat it off the spoon...and i tried with peaches...yup, he opens his mouth...so, well i guess he wants to be a Big Boy..no mushy stuffs for this young man.he`s ready for the good food..

Which is why i probably will start him on real solids the Baby Led Weaning (BLW) way..where we offer them veggies and fruits all in pieces that they can hold and suck/eat. And they sort of do it on their own with their hands, no spoons or feeding them. I`ve done some research and it is becoming really popular and there are good reasons to start baby off this way. So we`re gonna start when he turns 7 months just so he`s more capable of holding and biting with gums.

My fussy baby..
