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...

My Mummy's Roast Dinner is the Best (bar Nannie's)

The Lamb was beautifully pink and juicy, the parnips were perfectly roasted, the carrots were sweet with honey and the gravy, ohhhh the gravy...

Mama's roast dinner, a perfect opportunity for Florence to sample parnips, carrots, lamb and roast potatoes. I roasted the carrots and the parsnips as advised by hananabanana on her baby centre blog- lightest spray of oil and pop in the oven, keeps them in one piece better than steaming or boiling- and gave Florence a nice large piece of lamb and a crunchy roast potato too. The carrots were quickly discarded ( didnt quite cut them large enough; they shrink when roasted) and the potato was scattered by the amazing wind screen wiper action arm (wax on, wax off). The lamb had a good old gumming but Florence began a love affair with parsnip which lasted at least twenty minutes or so. She just couldn't get enough. What a lovely couple they made.

Also found glorious evidence of Florence actually consumming what she has been playing with since last week; Her nappy demonstrated the delights of brocolli branches, kiwi pips and one lone raisin- must have been the raisin toast I let her chew on early one morning- NAUGHTY Mummy, NO RAISINS!!!
