Bloody teething

Theo scared the bejesus out of me yesterday by being very out of sorts all day. In a bit of a panic I took him to the walk in centre. All is well, he is just teething big style.

Needless to say I felt like a tool bothering the nurses over bloody teething (PFB much?) but she said it was fine and as long as I felt reassured then I wasn't wasting their time.

Anyway, she said they can have trouble weaning, and he currently is having trouble drinking from his bottle because of the pain in his gums, so I'm trying to give him foods I know he likes and that I think he will enjoy chewing on.

Currently this is his usual breakfast weetabix.

No idea what I'm going to give him for lunch though.

Spoon fed breakfast

Today I decided to see what Theo was like being spoon fed. I've been worrying (perhaps unnecessarily) about his progress. He's trying food, but not much is going in, I don't think. I wanted to see if he was interested in eating more.

I made weetabix with milk (formula) and mashed banana.

It went down like a c**k in a nunnery.

He disliked the taste, and when he grabbed some mush with his hands it squished through his fingers and it really upset him. He started to cry.

He liked waggling the spoon about though.

Do you want some mum?

He had a munch on some dry weetabix and was indifferent.

He had to have a bath afterwards because he got so bloody messy, and that weetabix is like cement.
