Yaay! Gill Rapley says (unofficially) that she sees no problem with BLW and FF

she came and visited the blog, and has largely agreed with my ranting on the subject of BLW and FF, although obviously can't say that in her research as, well, she hasn't researched it.
That is SO nice of her, isn't it? ... am distinctly chuffed.

fab! BLW will conquer the world .

I had never heard of BLW when DD was little, but a lot of it does make sense. I did do the puree thing, but not for long. I weaned DD from 4 months (4.5 years ago) when she picked food of my plate. I did purees for a month maximum (as that is what everyone said I should be doing) but gave finger foods from the start as well. She much prefered finger foods and would have anything and everything that way. I remember on Christmas Day, aged 89 months with no teeth - none till 13 months) her happily tucking into fillet steak, roast potatoes, veggies and all the trimmings. And she'd been like that for a good while before. Certainly makes life easier.

oh wow! nice that she agrees with you on ff.

btw i tried registering on your blog and it was a bit of a pita, will try again tho.

hulababy, from what i'm hearing a lot babies have demanded to be fed this way, so i think it's always been popular even if it didn't have a specific name. and thanks ladidadi and wartywh, i am really pleased that she likes the blog.

also i checked with the blogware people about the signing on/leaving comments thing cos you're not the only person and they blame internet explorer. apparently this is how you resolve the problem, and it also means that other websites should be easier to manoevre as well. it's one of the reasons i changed to firefox, to be honest...

Open internet explorer,

Click Tools

Click Internet Options

Click Privacy Tab

Click Advanced Button

Click in ?Override Automatic Cookie Handling? box and put a tick in this

Click OK

Click OK

Close Internet Explorer and restart

i've just changed the settings to allow 'anon' postings... i wonder if that might help?

Of course, the other alternative is to use a better browser - try Firefox or Opera!

Great news that the goddess Gill likes your site H

i love firefox, pigeonpie, it's so much better than horrible old internet explorer, isn't it? my sis recommends slimbrowser as well, which is good but not as purty as firefox.
