Thankyou all for your replies!

DS has been sick with bronchitis for a couple of days but is on the mend now thankfully

Because he has been unwell, I have increased his BF's and offered some solids only in the afternoon after he has had a big sleep and a BF. He has tried carrot, cucumber and banana as well as some more broccoli...Balmaingirl you described the look great..'mum, you're poisoning me!'

I would like to introduce meat this week but am a bit scared about how to do this. Malyna, I like the idea of slow cooker meats but do you cut these into large bits? When I use the slow cooker I usually dice the meat into approx 2cm squares, should I make the bits bigger? Also, I am not a great cook and usually use the packet mixes and just chuck in the meat and vegies Are these ok for DS to eat? He is only just 6months.

I'm also not sure whether I am steaming the veggies for long enough, should they be really soft? I have been steaming them so that they are softish but don't squish up as soon as he grabs them but wonder if that is right or whether they should be softer?

So many questions....I don't know anyone IRL who is doing BLS so really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions and offer advice
