Need some help with weaning?

You poor thing, its more difficult than it sounds isnt it...if it were me, id leave the jars for a couple of days if its upsetting him...end of, if he's still ok with breakfast give it to him at lunch time, and dinner as well if your worried about him not eating enough, also try baby yogurts...and plenty of milk, or otherwise...after a couple of days hopefully he'll have forget all about the 'wrong food' incident! my baby did exactly the same, he's 7 months, and i changed his food from stage 1 (totally pureed) to stage 2, (lumpy)...well, he gagged and cryed and cryed and gagged....i thought i'd better leave it for a another week or two so went back on to his stage 1 jars...nope, he cryed and wouldnt eat it! so i just left for a couple of days....like yr baby he would eat his breakfast so i gave him that a lunch time as well, if its for a day or two till theyve recovered from us changing everything on them, then what does it matter....my boy still wont stage 2 food...so now he has breakfast, finger food for lunch (which he throws everywhere!) and a yogurt for afters...and a stage 1 jar for tea and an afters....all babies are different, obviously, and youve honestly got to do what suits them....just for the time being stick to your jars, introduce finger foods as soon as he's sitting up well and holding things....before you know it he'll be eating your dinners with you...good luck with it all, its not easy, this is my 5th baby and i'm still working it all out! x
