new chapter in his life whereby he can taste test for the first time and embark upon his life as a foodie. Unfortunately for him the amateur chef in the family works all day so it'll be down to mummy and his big brother to show him the ropes.I'm not sure where I heard about BLW but it seemed like a great idea. The theory is simple. Wait until the baby is six months old and starts showing an interest in your food and then let him join in. Okay, so there are some more explanatory guidelines best presented by Gill Rapley, the BLW guru, so I've included the link. Hopefully the practice will mirror the theory.
I'm very interested if there's other mums in Ireland that are going the BLW route. So far when I've been asked by my GP or Public Health Nurse what I'm doing about weaning they have never heard of Baby-led weaning. One replied "Okay but you have to start with baby rice and work your way up to finger food" so I'm sensing an uphill struggle with this one. So if you are a BLWer (is there such a thing?) or interested in BLW please leave a comment and let me know how others are getting on. Let the adventure begin.
