Niadla - if it were me I'd def try the gnocchi and chicken - especially if she seems to have the hang of this eating thing- sounds like she developmentally ready, and has the gag reflexes to stop her from digesting anything she's not ready for - go for it!

Edward is just starting to get the hang of things after 2 weeks of BLS - there's defintiely a lot more getting in (i know, i can tell by what is coming out of the other end - bring back BM poos... especially with cloth nappies!!!!)... he's LOVED meat the couple of times he's had it, and i've really started to trust him to take what he wants and leave it when he doesnt - it's amazing how even at 6mths they can self regulate - DS is very definite when he does and doesn't want things, and when he wants water or BM - i'm blown away by how well he communicates with us.

favourites for us are still pears - he loves them whole, i just bite off the skin and he sucks and chews away at the flesh, cucumber, meat, brocilli, toast and promite...actually just about anything if he's in the mood for it! lol

Csab - how old is your one? I guess even having a fussy eater shows a level of self regulation and preference as opposed to just eating everything that tastes and looks the same! bright side?!!
