BLW is not possible during the credit crunch

Having had a go at BLW I am not going to continue as basically I can not afford to give my child organic food every day that it throws all over the floor and gets very little in its mouth, and is still screaming hungry at the end of the BLW session.

It seems to me like BLW is some new thing to keep western mothers occupied, because if you were living in Zimbabwe you would not be letting your six month old waste copious amounts of food.

The aim of eating is to eat the blardy food not paint the house with it.

I am back to putting in baby's mouth with a spoon, sod BKW and the rest of the rubbish them come out with.

Oh now I see you can eat penuts in preg because now to many kids have nut allergys because there mothers where told to avoid them rather than introduce them over a long time.

Are there others who find the old fashioned way easier and more economical

Can I say it's not just BLW babies that waste food, they're still doing it when they are nearly 3 and 5.

12 yr old boys, however, are like hoovers.

Does the OP know one they could borrow for mealtimes, I guarantee no food wastage then

beforesunrise - I'm just not sure why changing your diet to, in the main, have less sugar and salt, is a bad thing?
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but while I use full fat dairy products for him( I don't make an effort to include extra fat in his diet. And his full fat dairy is mostly in the few things he has specially for him (yoghurt, full fat milk in his porridge)

AMEN, pirispiris, to the observation that weaning doesn't last long. impossible to believe that in advance, though, imo.

it's a great thing that you've changed your diet for the better, really. i am not being sarcastic or anything like that.
