dh is wonderful and so good with our dd. he works shifts so when i go back to work when dd is 6.5mths he will be doing a lot of the childcare. he is v keen to do this and is looking forward to it.
yesterday we were at the shops and he said we'd soon need to look for a blender so he could make up purees for her...now i am not anti-puree! but the more i read about blw the keener i am, and i'm aware that i won't be around as much as i'd like when she's starting on it
have already partially converted him to things like on-demand bf-ing and having dd in our room etc, but bless him, i know at the back of his mind he would feel more comfortable with routines and 4 hrly bottle feeds etc. he already thinks i am a "left wing bf-ing hippy loony" but to give him credit, when i can show him evidence of the benefits of my choices he does understand and agree.
so now my next mission is to make sure dd is not fed from pureed macdonalds or something while i'm at work - can anyone help? i've been on aitch's blog and i think it's going to be an amazing support but i know dh will not take the time to trawl through it.
i've found this: http://www.borstvoeding.com/voedselintroductie/vast_voedsel/rapley_guidelines.html adaptation of gill rapley paper
but can't find the actual paper, is it worth looking? what else can i show him and how did you convince your dh? thanks!!
