I feel confident that to a large degree, this is not a problem, but I'm still looking for interesting suggestions to help him continue to transition. I'd especially like us to have a little freedom from nursing (I nurse on demand, have never had success pumping ... when I'm around he nurses at least a little almost every hour, unless we're out ... when I'm gone for hours he'll eat a little other food).
In fact, since we have food sensitivities (dad has allergies, confirmed with blood tests, to: chicken egg, cow whey and casein, peanuts, and almonds ... LO reacts if I eat eggs and milk) ... I'm feeling that his hesitance to eat solids helps with the sensitivities.
Anyway. He refuses most food. He likes avocado, but lately only when we put chunks in his mouth by hand. He loved a turkey/avocado/garlic mash the first time, but has refused it ever since. Lately he won't let a spoon get anywhere near his mouth, and if we do the BLW style thing ... put it in front of him ... he throws it on the floor.
He most likes these organic puffs we found at Target, which I don't love because they have sugar, but at least it's something for his tummy while at daycare.
We're following an allergy-prone food introduction schedule, which postpones most allergenic foods until he is one. I don't know if the improved upcoming variety will peak his interest.
Anyway ... at the end of the day, at least 95% of his calories come from me.
