We aren't doing BLW, partly because I got stressed by all the gagging and worrying he wasn't eating enough. However I'm wanting to move back in that direction now. He has been eating purees (well, not totally pureed, more sort of grainy really) but feeds himself (I hand him a loaded spoon, he chews on it and gets some of the food in his mouth, I swap the near-empty spoon for another full one). So far he has had butternut squash, broccoli, pear, apple, banana, parsnip, carrot and - er, I'm sure there was something else ...
Can I give him toast? Breads? Porridge? Meat? He has been having single "tastes" so far, should I start giving him blends? He is still only eating about 1 ice-cubesworth of food at each sitting (mainly I think because he gets tired rather than full!) so I can't give a huge variety in one meal.
I know it's probably all in Aitch's wonderful blog but I've been looking at it for about 40 minutes and can't find the info I'm looking for and I'm too tired to keep looking ... hellllllp any advice welcome (except "use jars" )
