I am wondering how to fit it into our life - DS goes to bed at 7pm each night and DH and I eat dinner very late - well after his bedtime. Does this mean I'd do BLS with DS eating dinner by himself (of course I'd be there with him, but not eating and DH would probably just be getting home)? And when DS is about 9 months old, I'll be going back to the office two days/week. We plan on having in home care, so would I ask the nanny to eat breakfast and lunch with DS? If I had breakfast at home (assuming DS keeps his current wake up time, I'll never make it into work).
My partner is a shift worker so sometimes he is home for DD's dinner, sometimes he has leaves for work at 5pm and sometimes he is getting home at 6.30pm. I try to keep her dinner time consistent but sometimes life happens. Now that my DD is eating more than just playing, i often give her steamed vegies to snack on while i am cooking the main meal (it also keeps her in one spot). On good days, the 3 of us will then sit down together. Others day, it might be jjust me and DD (i eat earlier with DD when DH is on night shift). Sometimes, DD will eat her dinner while i am cooking and we just chat at the same time.

I work one day a week and DH is usually home with DD. On these days, i try to BF DD just before i leave because she won't drink EBM and goes without during the day. DH will have breakfast with her a bit later. On days that i am home, i now give her solids breakfast first thing. (she still feeds overnight). DD is 13 months now, so i'm trying to encourage solids a bit more.

Does DS HAVE to eat what we eat? Like, if we have tuna (not canned, fresh), I don't really want DS to have it yet because of the mercury content. So, can I make something separate for DS? Also, I plan on buying organic for DS but really don't want the expense of buying everything organic for DH and myself.
He is your son, and it's up to you if you want him to eat what you are eating. Especially as DD gets older, it is making us more aware of what we are eating because she wants to share, and so our diet has probably improved too (at least while she is awake).


With BLS is it possible to prepare food in advance and freeze it (may seem like a dumb question, but I am new to this and not much of a cook either)?
I don't freeze meals just for DD but meals we freeze for us she has, so no reason why you couldn't. Dinner from the night before often becomes lunch the next day. When they are little, it's pretty easy to just cook some pasta, steam some vegie sticks or cut up some fruit to keep them amused.

The best bit about BLS is watching bub figures out things for themselves. Working out how to eat something, or what the different tastes are and which are their favs.
