Hi all,

Dropping in again, DS has just hit the 6 mth milestone and we're keen to start trying some food out. I gave him some sticks of steamed carrot last week. He picked it up, sorta played with it, sucked it a bit. Hardly anything went down. And it wasn't long before he was bored stiff, wanted out of the high chair and back into his toys. So I'm taking that as a sign that he's not really interested I guess. We'll keep persisting at dinner times though I think.

I've got to go back and read a bit more of Gill Rapley's book again, I found that really resonated with me. However I've had some dodgy looks from mums in my local mothers group about doing BLS. Theylook at me like I'm a little unhinged, so I've actually stopped telling people. And the MCHN seemed sceptical too - basically insinuated that without spoon feeding, DS will not gain enough wait and not have enough energy as he grows BAH! We'll just battle on because know we just need to trust our own instincts and listen to DS.

Can't wait to try some new stuff this week.
