    Sure, Sally!

    The chatter thread is usually full of different suggestions on what's been tried and others have found success with: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...er-4-a-16.html

    Sally, I don't often go into the BLS chatter, I just can't keep up, so i'll just offer my experience here.
    I don't have any experience with premmie bubs though, so not sure if it's different.

    Nate started with pieces of veges, but he just wasn't really into them. I thought it was him getting used to stuff but when it didn't improve I thought I'd better change tack.
    I watched my GFs shovelling food into their bubs mouths and was worried about the quantity of my little guy's intake so I tried him on 'proper baby food' - he didn't like that one bit either lol and probably ate less.
    So I just started giving him what we had. Flavorings and all (we don't use salt when cooking). He was much happier. He still doesn't eat a lot, but he eats more of the food that is offered as opposed to just chewing and throwing it on the ground.
    So in short yes, I went straight from what he was having to our food. I have no idea on quantity though sorry.

    Thanks Kim! That's helpful

    Thanks Jennifer, I'll have a read through those now!

    I chopped up some roast vegies last night and he had a good try at them, didn't eat a whole lot and was given his normal food afterwards. He's loving peas and corn though so we are sort of there really, it's just a case of adding in different things.

    Thanks again.
