Wow - interesting!
It is considered that breastfeeding during the period that foods are first introduced may help prevent the development of allergy to those foods.
This makes a lot of sense actually... I won't bother delaying foods next time! altho I wasn't that strict with it anyway, we have no history of allergies.

Start with smooth, pureed foods:
Move on to mashed foods and finger foods:
Move on to a chopped texture.
Blerk.. what a lot of work. Only need to do this if you've introduced too early! It's a shame babyled solids is never promoted in these recommendations. I did mash up a bit of food for DD to get it into her when the paed wasn't happy with her weight gains.. but it was only to satisfy him.. pfft.

I also found it interesting about not using Soy or, I'm assuming they mean goats milk, formula before 4 months. I would never have known that. Is that recommendation on the tins?

Thanks Rachel
