BLW - is it normal for the food to come out the other end looking exactly the same as it went in?

...or does it mean my ds is not ready yet? He is 28 weeks and the food in question is broccoli and carrots

Yes, this happens for some time. Just don't get too alarmed the first time he has banana...

Peas don't come out the way they went in. Peas get squished, even though I know they are not chewed before they are swallowed in DS2's case

BLW wasn't known about when I was weaning the dses. Now I see what I missed out on!

Oh god yes I remember the awful awful runny milk poos with bits of carrot in. I was so excited the first time dd did a solid one!

Yep-I got myself in a panic last night, thinking there was blood in DS's poo- then DH pointed out that it was actually a bit of tomato.

My 9 month old dd evacuated an orange last week completely unchanged. She only had the inside bit, not the pith and the fibres so I was amazed to see so much orange in her nappy!
