toothy peg number 2

Lewis has another tooth, exactly 1 weeks after the 1st broke through, the 2nd broke through this morning, again it hasn't bothered him, a little grumpy on and off during the night but he never actually woke up, was just having little whinges in his sleep, sucha  brave wee man, i know how sore it was when my wisdom teeth came through xx

we're still on 4 hourly feeds but he's tolerating this rather well, with his break half way through, we tried increasing him again to get him to 5 hourly but he wasn't tolerating that, but he done  better with it this time than last time, remember we ended up back to square 1 on 3 hourlies lol, so hopefully before long we'll get there.

He's still enjoying sitting in his high chair or his bumbo seat for meal times, playing around with food, sometimes but rarely he'll try and eat it, mostly just plays in it and then rubs it all over his face (pics at the end lol)  but this is more than he used to do so it's progress at his own pace, he doesn't like things that are pureed to be very very smooth, he prefers things that are not lumpy, but gritty if that makes sense, them's the things he's more likely to put near his mouth but he still prefers the finger foods, like biscuits etc pity we can't make meals into biscuits lol, but still no calories by mouth but hopefully like everything else we'll get there in the end even though i know we're in for a tough few years at least lol
do these kids ever grow out of the feeding problems/aversions?

anyway here's some pics :)
this is him EATING

Lol, love the pics. He's so cute! Hope you can increase the hourly feeds soon.I can imagine how tiring it must be. And well done in letting play with food. You will see that he will start putting things in his mouth before you know it. Whatever I used to cook for Alina some I would puree and some I would just cut up in little bits and tell her what she was having. She loved that and slowely she started choosing what she wanted to eat by herself. And I would also give her a spoon in her hand. We've had lots of food on the wall an on the floor( put some oilcloth underneath) but I think it gave her a feeling of being independent.
Keep it up, it's important that these kids experience different textures by playing with food, so you're doing the right thing.
We're keeping our fingers crossed that the feeding continues to improve.
Hugs from the UK.
