Ds2 had his paediatric out patient appt yesterday. All went well till the registrar started talking about introducing solids to him, as he is a week away from 6 mths.
'oh yes' says i 'we have been giving him foods to play with and mouth at'
her - 'WHAT!'
we have been giving him fist sized chunks to play with so we know when he is ready to eat.
her - but he will choke! You have to give him purees!
me - no we don't. our hv told us this was a good way to introduce food. she is a big fan of blw, though we will be offering him mashed up stuff and porrige too.
her - 
Is it me or should people shut up about things they are ignorant about?
I am very hacked off as dh is already dead aginst giving ds2 finger foods as he is terrified of choking.
I have tried to explain choking v gagging to him but he still wants to buy fucking baby rice!
