dd2 is 10 months old (although she should only be 7!) anyways only found out about blw today so thought i'd try her for lunch. she's usually got a huge appetite, bf 5 times a day and has 3 large meals. i knew she was hungry so i gave her sweet potato cut into chunks. i sat her in the high chair and the first problem was she couldn't acually get her hands onto the tray as it's too high (she's usually fed in the bumboo seat) then i started to put pieces into her hands to help her try to understand and also gave dd1 some at the same time so she could see her trying to eat as well. she played with them but started to scream because she was hungry so i got a piece and held it near her. she ate fine but then started screaming after a couple of pieces and wouldn't eat anymore. the screaming carried on, i did everything i could to try to calm her down but in the end she cried herself to sleep. now i feel really guilty as i know she would have ate a good meal if i'd fed her normally and she wouldn't have been upset like that. anyone got any thoughts on what i should do, blw weaning seems really good but i'm wondering is it too late for her as she's so used to having big meals.
