Sazz I agree about the food thing. We all know how polaried the whole puree vs BLW thing can get, especially on MN, and it's such a false divide in my opinion. Food is food is food and as long as your LO (and you!) are enjoying it and thriving and exploring, then your choice of format really isn't so important.
I mean, DS loves yoghurt so I load up a spoon for him and he pilots it in. But there are those out there on the BLW frontline who would say that is 'helping too much' and then their opposite numbers in the puree hardcore who would say 'how can you know how much he is getting, why don't you just spoon it in?' Every point of view has its fundamentalists, but the majority of weaners (snigger) are just mums trying to feed their babies, who after all they know best.
Having said that, I do see pf's point about needing to know how much is going in if there are concerns over weight. S&M why don't you try doing a bit of both? Let's be honest, it all evens out in the end in terms of eating skills. I'm sure I was weaned on puree but I can still manage a knife and fork most of the time.
