Re: Re: How does one broach the subject of BLW with a nursery, then?
by Anonymous
Ive had a varied experience with my nursery. DD is 7 and a half months, started nursery and BLW at the same time at 6 months. They;d never heard of BLW so I gave them the Rapley guidelines which they seemed happy with (after first assuming I meant mashed toddler food??). Trouble was DD didnt eat a thing whilst at nursery. Every time I came to pick her up they were in a panic that she hadn't eaten anything all day. I kept reassuring them its ok, she hasnt got much of an appetite yet and isnt eating 3 meals a day at home yet. After 4 weeks of this I started to lose my nerve as a parent so suggested they try her with mashed food and I would tell them to switch back to finger foods once I was happy her appetite was up to it. We've had a couple of weeks of refusing to be spoonfed (shes 3 days at nursery) and now shes taking a bit. They seem really chuffed with themselves whereas Im slightly disappointed in myself that I didnt hold my nerve. We are still BLW the rest of the time including breakfast and dinner on the days shes at nursery so its only a couple of lunches a week. But Im looking forward to in a couple of weeks switching back to BLW with them when her appetite is a bit more consistent and hopefully DD will show them she is more than happy to scoff her food herself!
