Like others said BLS is great but yes, quite daunting at first!!!! This is our second time doing BLS and I was still a bit nervous.

DS I thought would scoff down food at 6 months but it took him a good 3 days of being offered that he actually put some in his mouth! There is no magical ticker in their little bodies that say 'hey, you are X months now, lets eat', just keep giving her a go and when she is ready she will come to the party. Remember food is fun until they're 1 so she has ages until she 'needs' to work out the moving the mouth and swallowing thing
