I just wanted to post this as there seems to be so many parents interested in blw at the moment.
We started introducing dd to solids the day she turned 6 months - and she wouldn't pick anything up. I had a health visitor ribbiting in my ear that as she's diddy anyways she was most likely starving, so I did (whispers) try a tiny bit of baby rice, and on a seperate occassion a tiny bit of sweet potato puree. She refused them both. We stopped for a week (sheer laziness on my behalf lol) and last weekend started again.
Since then she's eaten - cheese on toast, marmite toast, hot cross buns, rice cakes, peaches, pears, apple, yoghurts (I load the spoon and she manouveres her mouth onto it ) homemade carrot muffins, steak and cous cous, jacket potato and lemon and thyme chicken, chicken curry and garlic bread... to name but a few meals.
Even dh has turned around and said 'I think you were right with this blw malarkey' which if you've seen any thread about my husband constitues high praise indeed!
A quick thank you to the MN mums who are promoting blw, something I'd never heard of - I've been telling local mums about it and they're sold too. Watching my not-even-seven month old dd eat half a slice of marmite toast yesterday is convincing enough!
