Hello ladies, hope you can help me. DS is 4mo, and having been to a talk by our HVs this week who are very pro-BLW, I am thinking I would like to go down this route when DS turns 6mo in early June.
However we are also taking him on a 10 night holiday to Crete when he is exactly 6mo 1wo which seemed like a good idea when we booked it, 2 weeks post partum and I really needed a holiday to look forward to, not so sure now!!
I am a bit worried about the practicalities and safety issues of doing the first stages of baby led weaning in a Greek hotel, anyone had any experience of this?? I know Crete is not exactly an exotic destination, but i am just a bit worried abut cleanliness etc - you can't really be sure in a hotel that they have washed the fruit, or cooked the meat well/not left it out on a lukewarm buffet for hours. And what if they have nothing suitable on their menus (ie plain steamed/boiled veggies).
We are staying at a large all-inclusive 4* resort type place with lots of restaurants to choose from but unfortunately there is no kitchen in our room, just a fridge.
Anyone got any tips of experience of how we could make this work? At the moment I am feeling like we might have to end up going down the puree/jars route just cos this will be easier for our holiday as we could pack loads of those Ella's Kitchen sachet thingies. But think I will end up feeling v disappointed if we wean DS like this just because of our holiday, whereas my gut instinct is that I would prefer BLW.
