well, i think you're right about doing a resus course - my biggest fear has been not knowing what to do in an emergency (not just choking either). and after your words of wisdom, i seem to have calmed down about the whole feeding thing. i'm going with puree this week just whilst i get comfortable with her swallowing something that isn't milk and next week am planning to re-introduce carrot sticks. i think perhaps i also need to steam them for a little longer than i originally did. i'll keep reading your blog because it's been really helpful so thank you!
