BLW-have I got this right

[Ineedsomesleep]

If I leave weaning till 6 months the only things I need to avoid are Honey, salt & sugar?

DD is 5 months today and am really keen to leave weaning until 6 months but think she may have other ideas! She often sits in my lap while I'm eating and has started wrestling with me to try and grab my food.

My DS2 is the same, but am desperately holding off for 6mths to try BLW too! (DS1 (2.5) has already fed him some yoghurt because 'he was hungry' - whilst I wasn't looking obviously )

Hi Wash Think the BLW just looks so much easier but she is def trying to grab my food now. Oh well, only another month to go.

and shellfish

if she can grab your veg off you and get it in her mouth then she's probably ready despite not being 6m...

Thanks very much Mrs Badger, thought it didn't look like I had remembered everything on the list.

Have we all abandoned the post natal group for the weaning threads then

I never made it to the postnatal thread - legged it back to the main board whenn dd was about 2wks

I haven't been back on that thread since DS2 was born

and peanuts.
i'm with mrsb, if they're actively wrestling the food off you...

anyhoo, no gluten before 6 months.

Thanks Aitch

She wrestled herself another ham sandwich at lunch time today. Just wish I had read your posts and before lunch.

I hardly ever go on the postnatal group either, just don't seem to have the time so its nice to catch up with you

hello - came on for a nosey at the thread title and find aug 07 poppers! we must all be getting to that stage. dd2 keeps trying to grab food to put in her mouth - 5mo tomorrow.

hope you and your wee ones are all doing ok?

Hi my2, think we must all be either doing or thinking of weaning. DD was 5 months on Friday and is getting a bit frustrated when I'm eating. Hope you are doing ok too.
