...when we went on a Stately-Home-Day-Out, Small sat in a high chair in the tearoom and ate along side us, watching in bemusement as another baby writhed, grimaced and did everything she could to avoid the spooned puree. We ate as a family, they sat in misery while they took it in turns to poke at their daughter with a spoon. ....I eat better than I ever have done. Cooking for her has made me a more inventive cook, with fresher ingredients and we all eat more healthily as a result. ...mealtimes are fun. She feeds herself, she feeds me and watching her eat a whole pear is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. .....I found this blog and was guided by other Mums - no theories, no pressure, no HV madness - just practical advice and wholehearted support.
