Hi Aitch and Morv, Just found the site via the BLW yahoo group and am loving it.. made me laugh out loud several times this eve thus getting my partner interested as well. Our DS is now 9.5 months old, we did start with BLW at 6 months but he ate nothing at all and we got a bit worried and tried to go back to more pureed stuff - basically cranberry juice with baby rice - now a regular breakfast, but continued giving biscuits and rice cakes etc so he could practice holding thigs. He's now just starting to eat really, a bit of pasta, pizza crust etc. The main thing he likes is being offered food from our forks, not strictly BLW I suppose but anything that he was happy with was OK by me. Anyway, we hope to continue with more finger foods, so thanks for the advice and the laughs, I'll keep coming back.
