Hi Anon, if you have a look at the BLW FAQ, which was put together by mums who've done it for a while, i think most of them said that their babies only started getting the hang of eating from 8 months onwards, and some took as long as a year. if you can, keep muttering 'until they're one it's just for fun' under your breath... not easy but at least BLW gives you a free pass on the eating thing for a good few months yet. good luck with everything.
