    MJ has been off her milk these last few days, just playing and not taking much in...
    I have not given her solids if i dont think that she is having enough as i dont want her to drop a feed as she is having heaps of solids.
    Gave her mashed up banana yesterday - what a mess that was.

    We are going out for Dinner tomorrow night (my 30th birthday is today) - anyone else eaten out yet and done BLS... i was wondering if you took food with you or if you let them share your food...

    Jesse had some chicken pasta bake with us on Tuesday night, then had chicken rissoles & pasta last night. Shepards pie on Monday. He's loving it all!
    I sometimes still try to feed him some mashed stuff here & there. Potato, pumpkin & broccoli for dinner, but he was refusing it. I couldn't work out why.
    Then this morning I was trying to give him some weetbix. We worked it out!
    He won't eat unless HE'S holding the spoon. So I put the weet bix on, then let him hold it while I guided it to his mouth.
    He was happy to eat it then.

    How long does it take for them to start swallowing food?
    Alex loves to taste and munch and make a mess but he doesn't swallow it.
    I'm not worried about him getting hungry, moreso wondering when he will start swallowing it.
    Last night he had some broccoli bit off the whole tree and turfed the stalk and then munched it up but five minutes later dribbles out this whole mouth full of it!
    It's pretty cute but very messy.
    He is enjoying just about everything so far.

    Happy Birthday SJ, I hope you have a nice day with MJ and family. I think if it were me i would just share what i have. I often go out for lunch just to do something for me and give him bots and pieces of what is on my plate.

    There is a new thread here.

    This has some information on BLS in the OP.
