when i was pregnant i bought the blw book and was sure thats what i wanted to do - it just seemed to make more sense (seriously, how long have blenders been around? not long) and be more fun. However im slightly losing my nerve! not helped by the fact that since ds has milk and egg allergies ive been given specific weaning advice all based on moving through stages of purees, the dietitian didnt know what blw wasHmm . Also ds is only 5 months (though 2 weeks overdue) and is already desperate to be included in mealtimes and will swipe at my plate if hes on my knee (i know thats about joining in, not hunger but hes desperate to join in! ) i dont know anyone whos done blw so would love to hear some experiences

I did BLW with my daughter & it was so much fun, barely gagging & never choked or vomited. I'm about to start with my son & hope he'll be just as enthusiastic. I'm sure by now you've already started but our son has been wanting to join us for food for awhile (actually he wants everything we have) but has been ok with spoons & cups & bowls to play with. Then in 2 weeks time (when he's 24 1/2 weeks - also 2 weeks over due) we will offer him food for the 1st time. I can't wait!!!!!
