    THat's exactly what's happening here too... DD#2 loves to be in control of her food and that's fine with both myself and DH. She had broccoli last night and absolutely loved it!

    There's also a great article in the ABA's current magazine that describes BLS in pretty much the same way as you have done. The guidelines are (broadly) to let your baby take the lead and feed themselves when they're ready (although it's usually not until after 6 mths, which is when a baby's digestive system is better developed) and just feed them what the rest of the family eats! Easy! Enjoy your BLS journey (and all that time you'll save with purees).
