Persephone, I've had the same response from a lot of people, mainly ones back home. I just quote bits from the book LOL.

I have a friend who has 4 kids (OMG, yeah 4!!). She did purees with her 2 older boys (7 and 6) and BLS with her two little girls (2yrs and 10 months) and she says that her girls are MUCH less fussy eaters than her boys. The book also says that BLS babies are much less fussy. It was really good to hear it anecdotally though!

I love the BLS way. I could not be ar$ed making up purees every day (although I would if I had to - but thank goodness for BLS). My best friend does purees with her little man, who is now 13 months. He still doesn't feed himself as she says that she can't handle the mess She was shocked (and I think a little freaked) to hear that DD knows what to do with a spoon.

BLS ROOLZ.
