Dont really get all that baby led weaning stuff I think it is another fad,I mean giving a baby porridge with no spoon would love to see that,lol

Well done on Rhys having his toast bless him. I used to do Chloe cheese on toast and cut into fingers or eggy bread like that (french toast) they love it.

I am to start weaning at 4 months (thats the old way of doing it) I cant beleive they have increased it to 6 months now.

I am sure baby led weaning works for lots but the mess.......lol

Yay Rhys. I love BLW, it was so much easier. I usually gave Seren chunks of fruit like banana and pear, also rice cakes were fab too. Steamed carrot and broccoli spears were a fave also.

I tried Seren at 5 and a half months with BLW and she was great with it, the recommendation is 6 months but as baby is in charge of their eating they won't eat anyhting until they are able to move the food to the back of their mouth and swallow.

I will just do what I did for chloe when she was a baby 7 years ago.

I cannot bear mess so not for me but sounds fun for your little ones

i will see how i get on with it... ive found things called baby safe feeders which look really good and they are less messy!!!

teaches baby to chew food without choking!

[Tezzy]

I'm another big fan of BLW and will be doing it with Alex when he starts showing an interest in being able to feed himself. In my opinion BLW is a much better way to do it, but then I'm biased
