BLW starting MARCH 2012. Anyone else?

[IHeartOldYork]

Hello,

Am going to start BLW my DS this weekend. He will be 6 months next Thurs. Have spoken to out HV and she agrees it is a good idea to start when my DH and I are both around.

Am very excited! Is anyone else starting soon? What foods are you planning to start with? We're going for toast soldiers for breakfast!

We started with DS last week, so far he's had a roast dinner, steak & chips, spag bol, toast and various fruit & veg.

Not much going down, but some of the faces he pulls when he tries something new are brilliant!

Going to start this w-e, DS is 24w but sitting up and grabbing food and putting everything in his mouth. Planning to just start with some sticks of fruit then veg until he hits the magic 26w....

Much the same here. We've tried carrots mashed potato, green beans and toast so far. Lots of mess and delighted and disgusted faces. He didn't swallow any veg last night - just enjoyed playing with it, especially the mash! He really liked licking and sucking the toast this morning and even swallowed some soggy bits that broke off. Most came out again though! :)

Hello, ds is 6 months on 21/03, have decided to start at 6 months on the dot as it seems as good a day as any! So still have a few days to go.

How well are your dc sitting up? Ds is getting better, but certainly can't sit unsupported. He's fine in his highchair, just slips to the side sometimes.

Also, is anyone else going to have to completely overhaul their own diet? We eat so much rubbish and as dh works long hours we hardly ever have an actual meal together!
