Ok!

Following on from my Breakfast thread I have decided to drop breakfast temporarily in favour of lunch and tea which ed seems to prefer.

So what do I give him? I have stews frozen and roast dinners and stuff which I give him for lunch but he isnt going to want the same thing twice a day. Do I give him 2 big meals or what.

Help I'm confused... This weaning lark is BLOODY HARD WORK!

i think you should let ed lead you madz

hell soon tell you what he doesnt or does like

weaning is trial and error

you will find yourself cooking up lots of different meals only for half them to go to waste!  dont worry just go with it

i giv Ryan cereal around 12ish, so most would class it as lunch although i call it breakfast cause its his 1st meal of the day then a savoury around 6pm, so thats his big meal of the day

If u think he can manage 2 big meals a day thats fine but id still alternate wot u giv him - other than that i can only suggest yoghurt, rusk or fruit for 1 meal & a savoury for the other HTH

Go with what Eddie tells you as Zo suggested.

Travis hasnt been eating a proper lunch dinner the past couple of days as he has the cold, but David gave him dinner last night, 1 pot of tomato and ham pasta, and then 5 cubes of fruit and he wolfed it down.  If he doesnt want it he'll turn his head away.
