Is this crazy?

Hi just started BLW. DD is 25 weeks, she's shown lots of interest in food and on the first day was happy to pick up some sweet potato and chuck it straight into her mouth. By day 2 she chewed and swallowed banana and ate half of it!
I was only offering food at lunchtime, but now find myself offering little bits of fruit or veg at breakfast, lunch and dinner now.
The thing is she's actually eating the damn stuff at each meal! I thought BLW was a slow introduction to solids as they take ages to learn to put food in their mouths, chew and swallow.
Is it insane that my dd is practically having 3 meals a day already? Granted its not huge amounts, but I think half a banana is quite a lot!

My dd did the same at 23 weeks, no slow introduction for her. Obviously its easier if you wait until 26 weeks as there are lots of foods you houkdnt introduce before 26 weeks, but if she's showing all the signs of readiness and still getting all her milk feeds, I wouldn't worry too much Smile
