DS is 6.5 months and have exc bf'd him till now. Tried him on baby rice and apple/pear last week and he just wasn't interested. BUT he is suddenly completely able to feed himself finger food and goes MAD for our food. Yesterday was having a picnic and he ate some of dd's cream cheese s/wich, grabbed half her Mr Kipling sponge slice, then had penne smeared with a bit of dh's bolognaise sauce and loads of broccoli florets for dinner, toast for brekkie today... It is so amazing - you kind of forget along the way that they are their own person. I'm quite shocked. And feeling a bit weird about him eating so many new things at once. Should I let him continue with this finger food experimenting (and also get him to eat veggie/fruit purees)?
