BLW ADVENTURES #2 - RICE & BEANS

EATING ON ON THE BORDER @ 9 months of age

Baby Led Weaning involves not giving purees, instead introducing your 6 month old child to finger foods from the start.

Gill's research found that six months was the optimum age, which is the time that mothers are now being told to wean by Health Visitors according to the World Health Organisation guidelines.

And the distinct advantage of weaning at six months is that by that time our children are developmentally capable of feeding themselves - which means no more mush!

You just hand them the food in a suitably-sized piece and if they like it they eat it and if they don't they won't. (But they do, really they do... check out the six-month-old with the banana).

That's the essence of Baby Led Weaning. No purees, no ice cube trays, no moulis, no food processor, no potato masher, no baby rice, no mixing everything with expressed breast milk or formula, no weird combinations of fruits and vegetables, no preparing everything weeks in advance... just you and your child, eating food that you enjoy with you and your family.

Oh he has some facial expression that are to die for. He's NOT a fan of carrots!

[xxxjoelpolexxx]

Yep! I didn't know how much he's facial features have changed until today when looking back at older pics. He's thinned out a bunch since becoming mobile. Makes him look so different.
