Well, we decided that seeings as we bought the rice cereal, we might as well try to use it up rather than have it go to waste, so even though I'm now secure in my feelings that he doesn't actually need it, we've been adding some cereal to his other foods. I haven't given it to him just by itself, or to replace his finger foods though. He still gets his chunks of broccoli, sticks of cucumber (which he is loving at the moment!) and other chunky foods. The most success we've had is when it chopped the small green tops of the bits of broccoli that were too small for him to hold, and mixed it in with the cereal. It didn't look appetising to me, by he seemed to quite enjoy it, lol.

I've very happy that we are doing BLS, and am amazed at how well Kyson is getting the hang of it, and how much his fine motor skills have improved! Also, the other day I was at my mothers group and quite a few of us had pulled out some food for our bubs. All the others ladies were sitting there spoon feeding their babies, while I was sitting there enjoying my drink and biscuit while Kyson happily munched away and fed himself I think they were all a bit surprised and didn't realise that their babies could even learn to do it at this age. I wonder if any of them will start doing the same now...
