Florence led weaning...

I cant remember quite when or where I first heard about BLW but after reading up on the approach, I decided that BLW was for me, and truly plumpscious of course!
During my pregnancy with Florence I discovered MUCH had changed, sometimes a little radically and at times what seemed a little ridiculously, from when I had carried and reared my two other children. Suddenly there were hundreds of 'must have' little gadgets that it appeared I simply couldn't live without (nor could my as yet unborn child), even though I had done so before. Conversely, so many things were no longer available or deemed safe that my other two had adored or I had indeed found indispensible. Along with the new toys and gadgets I found many of the rules of baby rearing had changed too, most noticibly the guidelines surrounding weaning.
After the arrival of Florence, I found my ears ringing with the many, MANY different opinions on baby weaning and as such found myself searching out the rationale behind the 'guidelines'. It was here I must have stumbled across BLW.
So after devouring all the literature I could find (not a lot-see my links) I decided that BLW was the way to go.
Wish me luck...

Baby got back

Well we now have a cushion, booster an' all, so now baby got back so to speak. Thing is they're not waterproof?!? Not sure about the rationale behind that but they match the highchair so...
Looks eerily like a James Bond ejector seat don'cha think?



Anyway today Florence slept through dinner so perhaps BLW hasn't started after all! She did have a suck on some toast this morning though. Here she is with her big sis. From the look on Florence's face I think maybe she did miss dinner actually...
