    :yeahthat:

    I love the faces when they try things for the first time!!

    I can highly recommend BLS too, it has really worked for us. DD (9.5months) is on family foods and eats anything & everything.

    In truth what we did was probably a mix of BLS & mushy stuff to begin with and that worked for us. Just take what works for you & your bub.

    And MantaRay might drop in & update you on the allergy recommendations nowadays. As long as there is no history of allergy to a food in the family, then all food is ok to give your baby except for honey (risk of botulism bacteria in honey) & whole nuts (choking hazard).

    Good luck & have fun! Take lots of photos of the food all over his face too, classic!

    We are also combining BLS & purees atm.
    She has been having dinner for about 2 weeks now & has had 'breakfast' twice. Only thing is with AR, she's not a huge bottle drinker & never has been, so I don't want her to take too many solids instead of milk IYKWIM?

    Pumpkin has always been a great starter with my kids, & she has had some steamed broccoli & loved it too.

    I think we might switch to just mornings for a while - she's been waking (3nights in a row now ) for a 1:30 - 2am poo & then play for 2 hours.... I suspect it might have a bit to do with solids so we will switch times & see...

    I would go with whatever time seems best for your guy, just start slowly & gradually introduce a bit more. You'll know if he's ready for more or not
