Weaning at 6 months - what foods AREN'T OK?

[ElphabaTheGreen]

DS will hit 26 weeks this weekend, so I gather he's allowed to have pretty much anything now, right? I know honey is out until he's over a year, and cow's milk is only to go in stuff, not taken as a drink. Nuts...not OK whole, but are they OK ground/chopped up in stuff? And if I go down the BLW route I believe raw apples aren't great, along with other fairly hard stuff but is there anything else I should know about?

You can definitely grate apples - I used to. I put lemon juice on them to stop them going brown.

I do wonder when I will stop cutting grapes, some advice says 5 years but DD had no trouble when she got into the bag in the fridge at 15 months. I still do at the moment, but not any other similar shaped things with less grape-like skins.

I stopped when DS was about 3 I think. Just made sure he knew to bite them rather than swallowing whole.

By 5 they'll have been to loads of parties etc with uncut grapes so it's too late IMO.

I was told by a dietician to avoid pâté and all other foods with a risk of listeria that you are advised to avoid in pregnancy ie mold ripened cheese untill 1.

I recently found out that honey is to be avoided in all firms not just raw ie if its in crackers bread etc its still not considered safe.
