Does anyone know what His Wrighteousness said?

Anyway, I've already posted the Observer link on the right hand side but there are now stories on the BBC website and the Daily Mail as well. They all seem to be running with the same quotes and the story that feeding babies puree is 'unnatural', which, to be honest, doesn't sound very much like Gill Rapley talking but hey ho. I mean, feeding babies processed jars of food is unnatural in the sense that all processed food is, but it seems a bit of a harsh word to use under the circumstances.

So what do we think? It's exciting, I think, that Baby Led Weaning is getting more exposure but I'm not entirely thrilled that it's being couched in such judgemental terminology.




Post Script 23rd June.
Well when the Kazakhstan Official News Service is reporting it, it's safe to say you've got a big story on your hands. Oh, and I have good reason to believe that Gill Rapley was, as we suspected, wildly mis-quoted in the Observer article. [taps nose] [saying nothing]

I had the easy-peasiest, hassle-freeiest, tastiest, funniest, best time weaning my daughter. So thank you, Gill.


Join in ladies, she's getting a really, really hard time and has done bugger all wrong so far as I can see.

Far be it from me to chastise anyone in my profession... but if you were thinking of doing a non-hysterical story about Baby-Led Weaning then email me and I will do what I can to help. I'm sure some of the parents of the babies in the photos would be only too happy to oblige with a quote or two. Press on my name above (Aitch) and you'll get the address. Oh how we all love the silly season...
