My son started himself on BLS and is the best eater in the whole wide world! He only won't eat courgette and aubergine. Everything else he at least tastes. (Lettuce isn't a top food either, but gets tasted.)

I was told that BLS was cruel and would kill my son - by my mother. Then again, BFing was supposed to kill me and co-sleeping was supposed to kill DS. Oh dear, we're still alive. Pureeing was a fad of the last century. How did babies learn to eat before this fad? Oh yes, BLS was alive and well for millennia before the food processor.
