Emily is 5 months old and I started weaning her about 4 weeks ago. She has 2 meals a day (breakast or lunch and dinner) and eats sweet potato and broccoli; vegetable purees; fruit purees; mashed banana and petit filous.

I'm trying to avoid too much fruit atm as I don't want her to have a sweet tooth. I'm still breastfeeding her so thats naturally sweet anyway.

Oh, and she loves ice cream (well, we were in Mallorca last week!)

We've just started Aisling on 3 meals a day as she wasn't gaining weight.

7am - breastfeed
7.45/8am - breakfast - porridge, weetabix or toast with fruit spread
10.30/11am - breastfeed
11.30am - lunch - veg puree
2.30p - breastfeed
5pm - breastfeed
5.30pm - dinner - baby rice with fruit - hoping to move totally to BLW for this meal v. soon
7pm - breastfeed

I've been letting Aisling decide how much she wants to eat and just leaving it so that she'll turn her head and refuse if she's full - sometimes it's after a few spoonfulls, sometimes I have to find her more to eat because she's eaten a whole pot! I figure I'll trust her to decide on her appetite, not sure if that's right or wrong.

It's very right IMO! I think it's one of the main benefits of BLW actually, that they are deciding what they eat.

I had intended to do BLW but seeing as we can't just yet I figured I'd follow the principles of it instead
