Speaking of nervous about meat... I had to email my question a few days ago as I could not find this blog on my own to refer to..... (the feedback was that I MUST post here). Any more commets/suggestions most welcome: Subject: MEAT CRISIS I can't figure out how to post this question on the site so hope you can help... I have been following BLW since baby was 6 months and we are getting on fabulously! Lydia will eat anything we give her which is great. Have discovered the recipe section so think it's time to expand my horizons a bit..... I have been giving her meat which she loves. I first gave "chip" size fingers and she shoves ALL of it in her mouth (I am fairly laid back about the gag/choking thing but am v. v. v. scared with meat). I have also tried "fist" size pieces as recommended on the BLW site but she still stuffs it all in. I am now ripping/cutting meat in to tiny pieces which she is just inhaling WHOLE - that can't be good for her (might as well give her mashed food i think). ANY SUGGESTIONS?
