MIL/FIL have been with us this week and commented on how much goosey loves his grub. It showed in last week's weigh in he got to the 22nd percentile - up a huge 20 percentile points in 7 weeks. When the phn asked if he was having one or two meals a day I was able to say "3 meals and 1 or 2 snacks depending". We then had a little discussion when she started to advise "introducing more lumpy foods" and I explained about the blw route. She was amazed as her little one was nearly a year and still having issues with lumps and she asked loads of questions. I think Goosey got a convert as she was off to buy Gill Rapley's book when I was leaving.
When I think about how far he's came I'm amazed myself. I no longer do "strips" of normal food. Food is given whole (e.g. fish cakes/rusks/bananas) or quartered (bread) and the only thing I'm wary about is raw apple & meat (unless it's well done).
Goosey's dad said yesterday that if feels as if we skipped a step this time around. With big brother I remember pureeing & freezing ice cube trays and mixing veggie cubes, slowly adding more lumps only for it to be refused. I remember being in tears after he'd refused 4 home made dinners but he gobbled down a shop bought jar I had for emergencies. Not this time around. If he refused the dinner I'd give him something else we'd had. I wasn't seeing hours of hard work being flung around. Yep we missed a step and I for one am extremely grateful!

Does it count if your baby reaches out and tries to eat your dinner plate or does it actually have to be food?
