Ne new exciting foods here. We have all had gastro this week so have had to hold off the solids for a little while, all of us!!

For anyone who is interested, I picked up a book on BLS from the Australian Breastfeeding Association a while back which clearly defines BLS and the "rules"(guidelines! )! It is called "Baby-led Weaning - Helping your baby love good food" by Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett. It's a good read and really gave me the confidence to feed Jett foods that I eat.

I am getting so sick of cleaning up Jett's high chair!! It is a Steelcraft Hi-lo chair and he struggles reaching the tray well which means the messiness is even more messy as he has to move his arms in an awkward fashion to get the food successfully to his mouth (after first getting it everywhere else as he brushes past!). And there are just way to many grooves for food to hide in!! I have taken to putting him in his Bumbo seat with tray for the ease of clean-up! We have bought a couple of the Ikea high-chairs, one for DH's work and one for Mums place. Jett loves them, he sits well, can reach the tray really well and the best bit is that there is no where for the food to hide!! I think I am going to ditch the one at home and get another Ikea one!! Who would have thought the cheapest highchair on the market is actually the best!! For when we are out and about I have a portable chair that clips to the edge of the table which Jett LOVES!! He gets to sit up at the table with everyone else and because the table is his tray he really feels part of mealtimes. I borrowed the high-chair we have from SIL, so I daresay she will be getting it back much sooner than originally thought. What seating arrangements does everyone else have for their bub?
