Hi everyone! We have Andy's palate surgery scheduled on Feb 16Th. Andy is 8 months and has been eating 2-3 meals of baby food a day, but lately he has lost interest. He really wants table food. He used to eat the whole jar, but is down to eating less than 1/2 of a jar per meal, and he gets really frustrated after about 3 bites, snorting it out his nose and sneezing. I have been feeding him cheerios (which he LOVES) but have been holding off on other real food as I didn't want to give it to him and then take it away for the surgery.
But he isn't sleeping at night. He's waking at least once for a bottle, sometimes twice. I am trying to get more food in him during the day but with him not wanting to eat baby food, this is challenging.
This morning I was feeding him breakfast, which he didn't want, and I gave up and gave him a frozen waffle. He at 3/4 of it!! So It confirms my thoughts that he's just ready for table food!
So.....do you think I should just go ahead and start table food along with keeping up on baby food as the two weeks after the surgery will be bad anyways...or should I continue to hold off on the table food?
Thanks in advance!
