Well ... After all my talk about BLW, we're finally doing it!!!
DH has been at home all week (hence, I've not been logging on and posting much!) so has been able to share in the fun
So far Anna has tried broccoli, carrot, green beans and Heinz 'biscotti' biscuit. She definitely knows what to do with it - picks it all up, and then it goes straight into the mouth. But mostly that's all!! Nappy evidence suggests that some of the broccoli went in (!) but she doesn't seem too impressed with the texture. I didnt get the carrot soft enough so she gummed at it for ages, but nothing went in. She really had a good go at green beans, though, as they do sort of disintegrate after gumming!
We've only been trying food at 11am as a sort of early lunch (!), in the middle of her 10-12 A time. By the time she's had milk, a nappy change, waitied a while till she's likely to be hungry again, I've steamed some carrot, she's had 20 minutes in a high chair, and I've cleaned up, that's most of her A time gone, though!! We tend to be out for coffee/mums and toddlers/bible study/other stuff most mornings, and she's not going to be capable of eating in public for a while yet - far too messy! So I'm thinking that this week we ought to try eating at 3pm instead of 11.
How soon should we be moving to 2 and then 3 meals a day? And how on earth will I fit them in?!
I'd just started to feel like we had a decent routine going that allowed for us being out in the mornings, and was getting good at squeezing outings into the 2 hour gap between sleeps! Feels a bit like we're now going to lose all that again
