Yes! finally managed to get back on the site - my computer is intemittent in allowing me to logon here :-( You may not believe this, but the HV was really impressed with her yesterday and said we were fostering a really healthy approach to food with Widget!!! Of course, I knew this already but was gobsmacked to hear a HV say that. I was astounded and said, "So... I'm okay not shoveling purees down her then 'cause I'm getting hassle from older relatives?" just to further test the water and she said, "Of course. Babies used to wean at three or four months, but were usually on finger foods by six months!" You could have knocked me down with a feather!!! Update on latest foods: - Pork steak - Potato wedges - Extra strong cheddar - Weetabix (must admit to using a spoon with this, but she intercepted me a couple of times and either 'helped' put the spoon in her mouth or took the mush off and shoved her hand in her mouth - bless) It's her Christening on Sunday, so if she's in the mood for food I may just get her a plate from the buffet and shock the rellies :-)
