blw

Yup that's what I did.

So I did steamed or boiled carrot sticks (soft enough to mush against roof of mouth), kumara (orange because I only like that one ), potatoes, banana, apples (but I didn't soften it so she just sucked the juice out really), tinned pears (in clear fruit juice but some wash it), peaches (same as pears - tinned), courgettes...

About 7 months (so after 1 months) I introduced meet - just shavings from roast mainly.
And also sandwiches.

If you are looking for ideas, go to the photo gallery and there is a photo album BLW and you can see what others offer their babies!

GL!

Ds started with family food I just cut meat/vege etc into finger sized pieces.   

i gave my daughter sushi at about 6 mths old.
Just make sure food isnt overly seasoned... so if giving family meals dont salt them.

Yes I should have said, I don't salt any of our food ( much to hubby's disgust) and no sugar.

Sushi is a big hit here too and roasted courgette goes down well also.

We've been doing BLW for about a 3 weeks now and it's so much fun. Started on steamed brocolli, beans, carrots and courgette, roast pumpkin and capsicum, kumara, potato, plus cucumber, banana, sticks or chunks of cheese and now moved onto more ordinary food that we eat. DD is loving toast and porridge for breakfast and we tried her on spag bol for dinner last night. So far, there's nothing she's turned her nose up at.

Does anyone have any good recipe ideas? How's everyone else going with their BLW?

has anyone had much luck with toast? porridge is going down a treat but toast is being chewed on a lot but most of it ends up on the floor! what's everyone else having for breakfasts?

We do quite a variety for breakfast... Porridge, weetbix, yoghurt, tinned fruit in juice or fresh fruit, toast with various toppings, sometimes toasted sammies, creamed corn... can't think of anything else sorry!

I have a question re BLW and teething... DD finally got her first 3 teeth at about 10mo in about 1.5-2 weeks, but since then she's gone off her food... She's barely eaten a thing the past month! Still happy and healthy and appears to be growing but she's gone from eating 3 decent sized meals a day to taking a bite or 2 and being done and some days doesn't even eat a thing!
She was sick over the weekend and yesterday was the first time in a month that she actually ate something for all 3 meals! Still not what she was eating but more than a bite or 2!
She is still BF and our days go like this... 6.30am wake up, 8am breakfast, 10/10.30 BF and nap for 2 hours, 12 ish wake up, 12.30 lunch, and about 3ish BF and nap for 2 hours, then dinner at about 6.30 and a BF and bed at about 7.30ish... She still feeds about 2-3 times over night depending. My doc reckons I am feeding her too much BM over night which is why she isn't eating but I don't believe that because she was eating so well until her teeth came and that's the only 'difference!'.
Anyone experienced anything similar??

Thanks for all the good breakfast tips, think I just need to be a bit more adventurous and get into the cereals. I put a bit of vegemite on toast this morning and the look on DD's face was priceless. She wasn't fussed on fish paste on toast either so I think we might try muesli tomorrow!

Lil_Nic9 - sorry I can't help with the BLW and teething. DD has two teeth and two more coming through and she hasn't slowed down. Hope your DD gets back into it soon
