reaction to solid food

Hey mummy, don't be so hard on yourself - no parent would want to intentionally cause any harm to their children and you just wanted to let him try something new :) You can try giving fresh purées instead, my son hates processed foods for some reason (my parents say he has a keen palate for fresh food haha) so he was never a fan of cereals, food pouches, jars etc - I also think it's a better option whenever possible! Depending on what kind of weaning you'd like to do, you may also look into baby led weaning if you'd like - but that's a whole other area to explore :) In the meantime, just take it easy on the food you give him and try things one ingredient at a time for 3 days in a row to check for any reactions - it helps to keep a list so you can start mixing the flavours up and yet be assured that he wouldn't have any allergy reaction that you can't identify :) Remember that any type of solid food below 1 years old is just for fun, the main source of nutrients is still from milk!
