We're starting on solids next week and are planning on doing it the baby-led way (HunkerMunker et al being so convincing, both I and DH were instantly convinced). My question is: DS can sit unsupported for a few seconds but has no real interest in improving on this - he's much more keen on standing while holding our hands. He can however sit very nicely in his highchair/swing, etc. He has no tongue thrust, show interest to the extent of reaching out for what we're eating - usually the completely inappropriate stuff. He'll be 26 weeks next Friday. Will it still be OK for me to put the steamed carrot invitingly in front of him and just leave it up to him?
