We have only done baby led with DD and it has been great. STarted with lightly steamed broccoli trees, baked and steamed/boiled sweet potato, then been adding zuchini, carrot, parnsip, beans etc. She embraced sweet pot and broccoli first. We did not start until 7 months (5 months corrected being prem) and now she chews on her food quite well at 10 months.

I got a copy of the Gill Rapley book from ABA and it is great. Helped my nervous DH who has a fear of chocking. You might be able to borrow the DVD from your local ABA group, that was good too.

She has just started getting interested in meat chunks and cheese now. Loves bread. In fact will try anything. She often inspects it, feels the texture and then will taste it. It is the cutest thing to watch. At other times she will just mash it against her head.
