DS is 26 weeks old today and we started weaning today. He had a bit of mushed up pear and a carrot stick to play with for breakfast (he loved it, no probs with knowing what to do with it). We made it! - I have been fighting off my mum and her jar of Cow and Gate Rice Pudding, my sister's disproval, my friends' horror, and the general opinion that his eczema might clear up if weaned, for 2 months. My HV was amazed last week when I told her that he wasn't yet weaned. It's been a struggle, I've been tempted at times, but we got here. Yey!
