I ask because ds is 20 weeks, haven't started weaning yet but looking into blw etc. Bil and sil's dd is 13 months and only eats purees from jars. At pils at the weekend fil made her home made fish fingers, potato wedges and mushy peas but she had none of it. I suggested letting her pick it up herself and playing with it a bit but sil glared at me absolutely horrified, saying that she would get messy.
Now I know I haven't started yet and will have a lot to learn but isn't getting messy part of the learning process? They ended up giving her a jar, and it seemed such a shame that pils lovely meal had gone to waste. i really want to avoid the same thing happening with my ds - is blw the answer here? Surely some purees are ok?
