We started BLW yesterday, with our just-turned-six-month-old.
She's been a bit slow physically and can't sit unsupported yet - she just slumps to one side in her highchair and I am loathe to strap her in tightly in case she chokes and I can't get her out quickly enough - so I am feeding her on her boucy chair and sitting on the floor with her.
Anyway, yesterday, banana, which she (a) laughed hysterically at (b) chucked around a bit and (c) mashed into her trousers and a rice cake which she snapped into increasingly small pieces until I took it off her.
Today, another stab at a rice cake, this time spread with philidelphia (on the grounds that without, they just taste like packaging material and I wouldn't eat a plain one myself, so why should she?), some steamed carrot sticks, a toast crust and some chicken.
The only thing that has even gone near her mouth is the chicken, she had a bit of a cursory suck and then threw it away.
Is this usual/normal? I mean, I wasn't expecting her to wolf down an entire roast dinner or anything, first time around, but I can't help feeling a bit disappointed that my laundry load doubled and there isn't even a morsel of food in her digestive system to show for it.
Will try broccoli tomorrow since that seems to be popular. Any other suggestions?
