Spent weekend with DH's family. DD 10 month old and have been doing BLW mainly because she hated purees to be honest. MIL saying to me I should perseve with purees as she was there feeding my 11 month old nephew mush on Friday afternoon - making out that I obviously not trying hard enough. MIL shocked me by holding my nephews mouth open while shoving food into it . SIL trying to force mush on me to feed my DD all weekend - while I order bangers and mash and cheese sandwiches for my DD. DD happily eating a whole peach in front of them thats obviously not normal while nephew will not eat finger food at all at 11 months - obviously completely normal.
I really don't care what/how my nephew eats but I felt we were treated as outcasts and freaks!
Why isn't BLW pushed by HVs along with the recommendation to not to wean until 6 months? Don't think one should be recommended without the other.
So proud of my DD though - self feeding yoghurt with her hands shocked them all.
