SPB - think it was you asking about weaning, I think alot of guidelines about when to introduce which foods are about traditional weaning from 4 months and introducing textures slowly and some foods not being suitable till after 6 months. As none of that is relevant with BLW I think its just give them anything (within reason!) and see what they like. Although I think there are a few foods that are wait until older, I know honey is 1year. Wrt salt advice is dont add extra salt to food you prepare and avoid particularly salty foods such as processed meals for adults but normal food such as bread and butter with salt content is fine.
Oooggs I would be inclined to offer an extra milk feed before lunch if I were you, I think solids are meant to be supplementary to milk for first year but I wouldn't worry too much about it, babies are very good at gettng things their way aren't they?!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY IDOC
Have had very good weekend with Ellie, was lovely meeting Octo yesterday. Think Maia was pretty keen on Stan too! Think we may have to meet up again! Have some lovely pics, I'll try and post some tomorrow.
Took Ellie out last night and got her drunk! She is very funny and rather norty when drunk!! Stayed up chatting till half 4 ish though so VERY tired. I asked dp once she'd left if he liked her and he said yes but abit too much like me Think a weekend of 2 women taking the piss was abit too much for him! Joe is stiil gorgeous but much more work than Dylan, I changed his nappy and he's wriggling all over the place, wants to be sat up all the time and generally keeps her very busy. I'd forgotten how hard they get, I used to pin ds1 down with my feet when changing his nappy! PFB mums - dont judge me till you get there!! And Matthew is very sweet too obviously. We had slightly less squabbles between the older 3 dc this weekend than last as they seem to be getting used to each other. Although some squabbling between matthew and nathan over the babies - they just love them so much! Nathan had a bit of a soft spot for Ernie yesterday too and was harassing him for cuddles and kisses for a while.
Ellie is currently on M3 on her way home. A303 was bit of a nightmare in places but things are clearer now I think so fingers crossed it stays that way.
