we started BLW in the middle of june, so by the time i started the blog she'd had quite a few finger foods which it took be a couple of weeks to write up. i just gave her veggies and fruit for probably the first fortnight and then, because we don't really have any allergy worries, started to give her bits of crust etc to chew on. i think she probably had cheese quite early on as well. good luck, mirasmum, it's very good fun. (but don't stress if she doesn't take to it immediately, some babies like to take their own sweet time...)
