Wow, sounds like she'll be eating a whole roast dinner in no time!

Just realised that BLS is what we call baby led weaning in the UK and I have actually read some stuff about it. I think you're both right and I will give it a go.

I'm off to a mothers group (which is at 1pm, the baby has just fallen asleep and i've just been told I'm supposed to bring a plate - nothing in the house!!), so I need to go via town anyway and will get her some carrots and stuff to try.

Thanks
