Weaning - not opening their mouths
27/11/2008

Hi my twin boys are nearly 6 and 1/2 months and I have been trying to wean them for a nearly a couple of weeks now. Neither of them seem that interested and don't really open their mouths for the food. I've been pureeing apples, pears, carrots and sweet potato and mix it with some of their milk so tis not that they just don't like one particular food. They don't seem to be that hungry between feeds and are still sleeping all night . Any advice or hints would be appreciated. Thanks

seems to me they are not ready for it. they would open up otherwise. just be patient try a spoonful each day and see how it goes..if they want it they will take it but if they are not interested leave it for a while, dont force it upon them (not saying you would!) my baby girl has only been eating solids for 2 1/2 weeks it took about week and half for her to learn to open,take it off spoon and swallow!! its alot to learn really! but be patient and they will get there.patients is a must!!. good luck

hi,I start feeding my daughter at 3 months, and she was fine she loves her food, but my son start eating at 9 months. As long as they drink you don't need to worry. Nina benny selena, matty
