SHae is almost 5 months old, I know the recommendation is to exclusively breastfeed until she is 6 months so really that is not so far off.

Today she was glued on my chocky egg fix watching me without even blinking I have noticed her doing this a lot more especially at night she will stop feeding to watch me eat dinner then resume feeding when she gets bored.

SO anyway, I was taunting her a little with a bit of chocky egg thinking hahahahaha I can eat this and you can't (mean mummy I know) next thing she opens her outh to taste ... so I get a small bit of chocky and rub it a little bit on her tongue yes ok I am a BAD mummy but her reaction was something else ... seriously her whole face lit right up.

Ok so mine does too when I eat chocolate but she seriously was like ... oh yeah!!

SO then I tried a teeny tiny bit of crust and she was like bllerrrrk yuk mum (well wholemeal crust is pretty boring really)

Aside from the fact that it was a teeny chocky tongue taste is it a sign that she is ready to start trying other things? I was thinking I might try her on a little bit of Farex with some EBM but I don't want to rush her she doesn't hold a spoon or anything herself and her play sippy cup ends up usuallu in her eye but I cannot help but think she is starting to show an interest in food and I don't want to rush her but I don't want to hold her back either ITMS

I am yet to read the BLS thread as she really isn't even playing with toys let alone wanting to play with food and I would usually follow my gut but I wonder if my judgement is being slightly impaired by an inner desire to not let her grow up too fast

what do you reckon?

was it just a mad WOAH CHOCKY or a WOAH something different?
