Why don't you turn your blog in to a book?
You could be the annabel karmel of theblw world (by which I mean rich!)
Bet you'd get a publishing deaL. yOU'RE on bthe crest of the zeitgheist!
p.s. mn 2 / ronson nil!!

She might have some competition...Gill Rapley is apparently working on one atm/soon.

oooh, just saw this. gill rapley's definitely working on one, i know that the recent publicity got more publishers interested which can only be a good thing. that said, it's not like there will only ever be one book on BLW, i shouldn't think. i imagine there are loads in the works. none from me at the mo, though...

Aitch, can i just say, thank you. i have just read and joined your blog after reading something about on here and i am so pleased. i am currently weaning my 7 mo ds and was stuck in a mashed potato rut. he loves to feed himself and will eat anything i put in front of him (spinach,toast,risotto,melon pieces, pasta etc) but was getting a bit stuck with what to do next for him. you have given me the confidence to just give him a bit of whatever i am having (which i was doing anyway, but pureeing it a bit first)in its true form and not to worry about the potential hazards. its a roast dinner for us all tomorrow and i bet he is going to adore it. he is such a good and confident eater and in am sure it is down to me not worrying about the mess, unlike a lot of my friends, and just giving him the opportunity to get his hands in it.puress have their place maybe in the early stages but as soon as a baby is used to food, then give them food, not mush! brilliant.

What have you got to lose by sending a letter with your web site address to some publishers? Get the writers and artists yearbook, loads of relevant addresses in there. It's ace! I'd love to have a copy of it in my kitchen. Or how about a magazine column, blw diary or somesuch. You're doing all the work anyway on the blog.
Ker-ching!

sorry, am I going on about this?

lol...

ooooh, is it out? why on earth did you buy practical parenting? i'll buy it tomorrow.
lol at AK, the journalist who wrote it (not me, obv) sent me her other quotes... she is a bit bonkers on the subject of BLW. i wonder why?

can you link to said article?

fancy AK being sniffy about not need needing to cook seperate fancy shmancy meals for babies??

ooooh, bad wabbit!!

surely non BLW babies gag and choke too?

anyhoo, DD is now 2, so BLW is a distant memory..although she treats everything as fingerfood...even porridge !

dd loves being fed ice cream, for some reason. ittle bloomin' diva. so what did i say? did i sound warm and sensible and caring? am i a Practical Parent?

ooh will look out for this

LOL at "fine, get out the spoons" with silent

NO!! I didn't know! LOL! See, I can spot a talent!!
Right themn, I need to know more. You write for practical parenting magazine?

well, then get it farking published then. Blimey.

god, I m a twat!

thanks lapin, will do!

no no, i didn't write the article. a journo contacted me because of the blog. 'lazy' journalist googling a subject, hem hem... it's the sort of thing that drives MNers (who don't have a clue how the media works) wild with fury.
i keep on expecting a publisher to type the words into a search engine but no luck so far. perhaps a letter writing campaign?

PS, is that really all of my quote? they're shortened it rather, i think i might sound a bit petulant there...

coolio. although that bit about getting out the spoons was longer in the original i think. oooh, i'll have to go and buy it tomorrow, how vairy exciting.
