kitten - I am thinking of trying BLS this time round, seems so much easier, no special preparation or buying bland baby food. Mum has already asked me when Im going to start solids (as in she thinks Aimee is ready now). Aimee likes to sit on my lap and watch me eat but hasn't tried to grab food yet. I think in the next month or so she might be ready (she will be 6 months in about 6 weeks eek)
Skye- BLS or baby led weaning is when you offer baby foods you eat as a family, often starting with fruits and vegies cut into chip shapes. The idea is if the baby is developed enough to pick up the food and put it in their mouth they have the devlopmental skills required to chew it and swallow. Babies get to experience the texture, feel and taste of food and decide what they eat at their pace. Ahould be fun but I think its going to be a lot messier than spoon feeding puree
