Hello fabulous BLW guru goddesses. I am loving your work! My 5.5 month old daughter seems to be a budding candidate for BLW - she loves to grab, gum and chew everything in sight, and is already sitting up nicely. So after reading your blog at the weekend, plus Gill Rapley's excellent article, I let her have a few carrot sticks and a chunk of banana to play with (she was happy as a pig in poo!) on the basis that she wouldn't be swallowing any just yet. Well, today's nappy proved me wrong! There were quite a lot of banana fibres in there as well as a goodly few flecks of carrot. Is this good or bad? I feel a bit guilty as she's not quite 6 months old yet - should I hold off until then or keep letting her play with fruit and veg so that she can make her own mind up if she wants to swallow it or not?
