Well Elise has started to help me by clearing her tray when she is done eating :P  It also can signal she wants a different food instead of what she has been eating the turkey!!!!

I want to do BLW with DD. DH is not in favour of it - he is freaked out by babies choking.
With DS we did purees and he is a wonderful eater. However he couldn't handle finger food until he was over a year as by the time he was 6 months he had 8 teeth and he would take huge bites and then try and swallow! so now DH is freaked out - is there any article that I could get him to read about how wonderful BLW is and how he should be scared? thank you

Hi amy - good luck with BLW! My MIL was not convinced at first (there was a fair bit of gagging at first!) but now she says she is utterly converted!

This is the website: http://baby-led.rhgdsrv.co.uk/  You can download the brochure that has everything in a nutshell. The book is great (VERY comprehensive!) and the cookbook has all the info at first and is followed by recipes (that even if you don't do BLW would still be great for your toddler & DH and YOU!). I borrowed both from my local library!

Ugh. We're back to not eating after a few delightful days of great appetite. More teeth? This morning I tried ALL her favorites and she wouldn't eat more than a bite or two of anything. At 7 we did egg and waffle (our standard breakfast). At 8 we tried pear and toast. At 9 we tried peaches and yogurt. At 9:30 she FINALLY ate something - cheerios and raisins ::) Grrr.

Sorry I've been MIA lately. J has had 2 months of intermittent snotty coughing bugs. S had a chest infection and the Christmas travels have made things very hectic around here.

J has not quite got this food thing yet. He's a one chew wonder, he'll suck/ bite on a wedge of something once and spit the rest out, then he will not entertain it again! Some foods he really enjoys like sausage, he'll suck/ chew all the flesh out and deposit the skin. He's also nowhere close to developing the pincer grip (S had that well under control by now) I tested him with some peas, he got them in his mouth individually, then smiled and they fell back out! But I'll let him off because he's cute, also he's not been interested in solids while he was ill.

He's also a bit fussy, I'm trying to make sure he has lots of savoury foods to avoid a major trend on sweet things but pears are definitely the number food of choice just now!

Hugs Megan, I hope she eats again soon. Not long until your baby is due now, exciting  ;D As I've discovered they are so different, you may find your little boy is a total pig for solids. I'm just so glad I weaned S first, she made it very easy!

Hi Amy, I've only read the book. I found it very reassuring about choking issues, definitely get a copy for your DH to read.

Things are still going well here!  T will try just about anything.  We are going to try yogurt this week- I'm excited!  Went to the ped FINALLY and T is off the growth chart he is so tiny.  The ped said that his weight is fine for his height- he is just really small!  Made some soup the other day, and he loved it.  I'm going to see if I can find the BLW recipe thread and put it on there!

Megan- So excited that you will have a new little one soon!!  Hope your lo eats for you again!

Amy- I read the book also, and I convinced DH.  However, a month into it, MIL found out and freaked.  At 8 months, she was fine with him eating real food.  I think the big chunks freaked her out.  Good luck!

Sarah- I was in the same boat with illness and travel!

And for any feeding photos this is a good place to share your mess:
http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=178354.0

I have a few pictures to put on, he doesn't like to spread it on his face, just on the floor!

I have decided J is not going to be a vegetarian, anything meat based and he sucks it to death!

I'm here please  :) :-*

Feeling a bit lost with it all as for DD it isn't a case of 'give her what you are having' as she is currently dairy, soy, gluten and egg free  ::)

So if anyone has any food ideas apart from fruits and veg that I can make for her to make things a bit more interesting then let me know  :-*.

Today Megan had no breakfast, rice cracker and banana for lunch, and chicken, broccoli and fruit puree for dinner (although she screamed at DH when he didn't give her the spoon and he ended up holding the pot in her reach and helping her dip and eat  ;D, she was SO SO pleased with herself!).

She didn't think much of the broccoli  ::)
