I have stopped BLW because DD retched and vomited everwhere.

I've been giving my dd finger foods for about a month- she's 7 months and also occasional spoon feeds like porridge etc.
DP is dead against BLW for the usual reasons ie. choking and goes mad on the occasions that she's retched. It has been a battle but he was just starting to come round to the idea until last night. DD was chewing on toast, retched and then threw her milk up everywhere. As you can imagine DD was very distressed. This just reinforces everything my DP has said about how stupid I am giving DD chunks of food. Im beginning to think BLW is more trouble than its worth....

My son goes through periods of preferring BLW and periods of preferring smoother food that I feed to him. Some of it may depend on teething I suspect.....but like most things with babies, no use forcing something that clearly isn't working. Maybe be a bit flexible. Put some food down that she can pick up if she wants to, but feed her some by spoon too?
