Starting solids? - Baby Led Solids Chatter #2

hi Bekz! Hi Ash! Hi Vic! Hi everyone else.
DD has been on solids for a couple months now. She loves pretty much anything that comes her way. We do a mixture of BLS and puree stuff. Last night we have her an assortment of vegies and she loves to smear them on the tray.
I agree Ash, it is so much fun. Vegemite sandwiches are great too, DD gets them everywhere and does manage to swallow most of what I give her.

Thats basically what we do, kinda of depends what are eating.
Realised yesterday he doesnt actually like avocado much on its own, but loves it on bread or toast.
I'm thinking of buying a lamb cutlet for him to munch on because ive seen pictures of QM's Punky and i think thats definitely the kind of thing alex would enjoy!

Ash - Yeah, she loved that cutlet... DP was eating them infront of her & she cracked it until he gave her one, I think it was the first real meat she's had, she chewed it with gusto for ages then started to bash her car with it lol, so Daddy took it off her (too eagerly if you ask me ) & you should have seen her face when he bit the rest!! She couldn't believe he ate her lamb cutlet lol.

Jen - Yhullo! Love that ticker pic!

Alex is like that too. If you are eating and he doesn't have any, oh boy...!!! I walked into the bedroom last night with a nutella sandwich and alex has just woken up and his face was priceless. I had to go back to the kitchen and eat it

Yum, nutella, havent had that for years... although we have safeway select belgium chocolate spread that we used on on pancakes ages ago -.. hum might have to try that.

MJ is loving Tuna ATM, i am just wondering how often i should let her have it though due to mercury levels?

sorry in advance, but I have a TMI question regarding poos....
We gave DS a few tries of some foods on teh weekend. Just for a taste. He loves oranges! He also (accidentally I think) ate some banana. What I mean is he broke off a bit in his mouth, tried to spit it out but evidently swallowed some bits. I know cause.... I found them in his nappy this morning (i know, ewwwww, what am I doing going through his poos..?, but I don't see what else it could be.) Anyway, is that normal? or a sign that he's not ready yet, since it was (i guess) not digested? Or was that just cause he didn't chew...?

Anyway, he's very interested in trying things in his mouth, but after the weekend I'm not sure he's really ready to eat just yet, so will probably leave it for a couple more weeks and see.

Oh, and SJ I used your hommus recipe at a bbq on the weekend. it was a big hit - thanks!
