Talk me through the basics please??

Dd1 is only 3 so I should know this but dd2 is almost 6 months and I appear to have forgotten everything!!

I plan to do the whole blw again but how quickly did you introduce different foods?

If anyone would be kind enough to share their experiences with me that would be great :-)

We did BLW from 6 months. I left a day or two gap after giving common allergens for the first time eg wheat, eggs, nuts. There are some allergies in the family so it seemed safer. But otherwise I didn't worry about leaving a gap. I figured the risk of a reaction with most foods is low and it would be ages till he could eat family meals if we only introduced one new food every couple of days.

So did you literally start from day 1 just passing baby random bits of food from your plate?

Yes, on day 1 DH and I were having a Sunday roast and we put a roast potato, a roast parsnip and a stick of steamed carrot on DS's tray and he played with it and nibbled it a bit.
