we're now nearly two months in & Bubs is loving it, and I love it as it feels such a natural way to feed. We were lucky on not having too much gagging, although the swallowing of a whole orange segment on Saturday did cause some eye-popping (by both Bubs, me & the PIL - gulp! Thankfully all was okay). The mess is quite incredible sometimes, especially when she uses the highchair tray to catapult yogurt off the sppon onto the oven, but that's always going to be the case isn't it? The poo's are certainly interesting but haven't noticed increased farting....though that could just be high tolerance of my husband means i block it out?! Like a couple of other people I like that it has allowed me to relax and enjoy weaning and not getting into competitions on how much they've eaten. Some of my friends, who are very sceptical about the whole thing, keep saying that they don't really understand the difference between BLW & traditional weaning which I find a little strange when they spend their lunches feeding their LO with their food going cold. And my favourite comment so far was 'but how will they learn to use cutlery???' Gone off on a slight tangent I think but am just loving the whole thing so far & love this site for giving so much support and so many laughs!
