My DD is 7.5 months. I have been doing BLW since just before she turned 6 months. She took to it really well at first, not really eating much, but always exploring what I put in front of her, then gradually built up to eating a bit more of it. Unfortunately we soon discovered that she obviously has some food allergies, had a skin reaction to some fruits and reacted badly to cheese and possibly egg. She had blood tests last week and I am waiting to hear the result so I will know exactly what her allergies are. In the past 3 weeks or so she has really eaten nothing at all offered to her and often won't even touch things or will just put them straight on the floor. For example she used to really like banana and now she won't even touch it if I put it in front of her. In the past few weeks she has started cutting her bottom two front teeth so that may be partly responsible. Anyway, this weekend I decided to offer her some fruit purée by spoon for her breakfast as she hasn't eaten anything offered for breakfast in a while and I thought it might be easier on her sore gums. She ate the lot! Now I am having a crisis of confidence thinking that she would prefer me to go down the purée route. I really believe that BLW is the best way to go for all the reasons I have read, and I am relaxed about her not eating much as food is for fun until she is one. But because she has eaten the purée I think it's knocked my confidence and makes me think I am doing the BLW more for me than for her. This isn't helped by lots of people thinking that I'm bonkers for not giving her purée! Should I stick with it, or get my blender out?!
