i done blw with dd1 and she is the best eater around, she will eat anything and has a really good appetite, i am planning on doing the same with dd2,
ds was on pureed foods and i didn't have a clue about blw then, he is SO picky about his food,
might be a coincedence but i do believe in it

I'm going to try it with this one if I can, but then, mine have always been mega hungry babies so I don't know if that makes a difference or not - especially when they have needed extra prior to 6 months.

I always panic about choking and stuff - Liam gags on some stuff even now which worries me :unsure:

I want to try it, but I think I'll be needing lots of advice and help :yes:

im sure i started Jodie before 6 months, even given her prematurity, she used to eat loads of stuff classed as not suitable for a child of her age, i remember the hv coming and praising me saying i should go to some homes with her and show the other parents. they don't need teeth to eat :laugh:

Had just read the news article.

No doubt baby food manufacturers won't be happy about it!
