Food counting?! I mean, I know how much food I give him but how much he actually eats is another matter... I do sometimes envy my friends who can say with assurance "oh yes, she had 4 cubes of sweet potato and 2 of chicken today"... don't get me wrong, I'm VERY happy we took the BLW route, it's just that I give him a banana and it disappears. Great. And then I find some of it in his pocket, some under the cushion on the highchair, and DH steps in a bit later on. So how much did he actually eat!!! My bigger worry is that he has a fairly dull diet. Bananas, pears, lots of veg, the occasional bit of chicken or fish... I have great intentions of doing all the fab recipes on here, but when you have a child who doesn't nap, has a hissy when you dare to leave the room, and refuses to sit in his highchair for more than 10 seconds without food being involved - the cooking part gets tricky! (We always have pudding first. The aforementioned banana is devoured/thrown/hidden while Mummy tries to cook at warp speed). But otherwise, and I know those are pretty feeble complaints, it has been a great experience and I'll confess to being a bit evangelical about it sometimes!
