Morning

Re the solids... If you are thinking of introducing finger foods you need to stop the puree as the two methods are so different, one you feed your baby, the other they feed themselves. Honesty if you are finding the puree stuff hards, maybe switch to the other method, it is far less time consuming as you dont really need to cook anything different from what you are having.
Today MJ is going to have fruit and our left over dinner which was cauliflower and macaroni cheese (a very slack cooking days yesterday, but i did work all day for DH at the factory) and maybe some avocardo or hommus on toast. It is far less work and also as you dont feed them, you can either sit and have your lunch or meal with them Or can be preparing dinner or something - MJ has her dinner i n the kitchen while i am preparing ours (she has her dinner at about 5pm otherwise she is too tired)
BUT BLS is not for everyone, there is a bit of mess to cleanup afterwards (i have to mop under MJ afterwards and also her high chair needs a good wipe down) You need to do waht suits you thou...
Danni and Shell, if you are thinking of going down this track, you need to make sure that your daycare is happy to continue feeding this way as finger feed is very different to spoon fed by someone else iykwim - Do what you are comfortable with
I will post the link to the BLS thread that has been started
