Loads of the info on MN about weaning advocated the BLW approach. ie wait until 6 months and then give them some chunks of stuff and watch them chuck it on the floor see what happens. MN also seems to be anti purees and baby rice. I was thinking of trying out the BLW approach as well as poking some sweet potato and milk mush into his mouth. I've told both my DM and DMIL about this.
DM weaned us at 4 months on HV advice. Last week she took me to the waitrose baby food aisle to show me what baby rice is . DS is 5.5mths and she thinks I need to crack on with it! She's also stewed me 500 metric tons of bramley apples.
DMIL is very risk averse and said DS would choke if I gave him some bits of sweet potato alongside some potato/milk mush. She weaned her DC at 6 months.
Who should I listen to? You guys or the grannies!
