my daughter is happy and growing better now than ever, she loves her food, loves every new experience food excites her, I don't have to give her food I wouldn't eat myself, the "romance" of eating together on the floor, sharing foods (even if it is yucky!) we don't have to do anything special, we can just give her what we have, that people comment on how well she eats the looks that waiters give me when I order her food ("For the baby?) even though she was 9 weeks premature, she took to BLW straight away and has overtaken her birth peers in development the arguments Tink's Daddy and I have over what different meal we are going to do/order for her eating out is so much easier - I can find her something to eat on the menu and don't have to let my food go cold while I feed her eating at other peoples houses is easier because I don't have to worry about taking food and they don't have to worry about what they cook my health visitor and I finally agree on something!
