hi my little boy is eight months old now and ive been feeding him since he was 6 months on cow and gate baby jars. last week i moved him up to stage 2 food but hes not having any of it and refuses to eat anything expect yougurt any ideas on how to get him to eat lumpier foods?

hi. my daughter was like this and she wouldn't eat lumps untill around 10/11mths!! but she liked the smooth so i kept giving her that, trying every now and then with the lumps but no! just used to make her heave and not eat anymore. she got used to it in the end but it was more a case of taking food off us rather than eat what she was given so we let her do it that way so really she switched suddenely from smooth to a proper plate of food! the best thing she liked was pasta, i bought the tube type (proper adult pasta) cos they have the hole down the middle and chopped them up but i think she just used to swallow them!! banana's are good for them to play with, he might decide to try it! she wouldn't eat mash though until she was about 1+1/2yrs. some just don't like the feel of lumps, don't think somethings wrong or let others tell you he should be eating them, just keep trying without getting stressed.

aww thanks very much :) i think il go the bananas a go see what he thinks. i would gladly keep him on purree food if it meant him not heaving and eating nothing. he will get used to it in his own time all babies are different i guess

hi. just thought i'd say about banana's they don't make you constipated like everyone says. they do if they are on the green side. wait for them to be deep yellow with brown spots on the skin, he can have 2 a day if he likes them.

every time my mum comes up she's "they'll make her constipated!!" mum's always constipated but she eats her's green and won't listen to me!
