dd2 is just 8 months, and is 100% BLW - her decision, really: she had trouble swallowing purees (floppy larynx) and loathes spoons (possible reaction to lots of intrusive stuff when v ill early on) so jars etc are out.
She's doing ok, and though not much goes in, she does seem to enjoy discovering new foods and will chew happily on toast, fusilli, steamed apple/pear, banana etc. She can't cope with swallowing anything that isn't very soft, and will only eat what she can pick up and hold in her own hand. Bless her . I know thats fine in BLW terms, but eating out with her is almost impossible as she's too small for a highchair (we have an Early Years booster, which is just about ok with cushion in) and very, very, very messy.
Am a BLW novice (dd1 did a mix of purees and finger foods from early on with great ease) contemplating two day journey in car, boat, more car, hotel etc next week and trying not to panic: what on earth can I feed her in the buggy/boat/hotel? And how do you keep a BLW baby moderately clean (ie no flies feeding off her on hot sweaty journey) without a tap and running water?! I'm probably being dim, help...
I have found she'll take a few mouthfulls of Ella's Kitchen purees straight from the nozzle, but any other tips from travelling BLWs would be sooo welcome...
