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...
Green beans and Mini sweetcorn
After a browse through Aitch's website looking at the finger foods folder i decided to try Plumpscious with some green beans and mini sweetcorn. Green beans I wouldnt have opted for myself as they tend to have that stringy thing going on down the sides but anyway we tried as one contributor mentioned that baby enjoyed sucking the little beans out of the pod. A sure fire hit and as predicted Florence did indeed enjoy sucking the inside out so to speak. Mini sweetcorn not so hot though. Perhaps try again another day...
