We're doing blw weaning too and its going great! It just makes sense to me to do it this way.....

You say you go to latch-on....are you in Plymouth by any chance?! I sometimes go to the one on Fridays at Nomony if you are :-)

Re banana test - William hates bananas! Still eats toast, bread, peach, pear, nectarine, veggies, rice cakes, yoghurt......... :-)

M, I wouldn't leave LO with anyone I couldn't trust to follow my directions anyway. Basically, anyone I leave him with MUST respect how I am feeding him. If they don't agree with it or are not comfortable with it, that is fine, then they don't have to feed him. But if they want to feed him solids, they have to do it my way. End of sentence.

I need to get this book, my LO is almost 6 months and starting to get really interested in food, so I've sort of been doing my own version of BLW, and letting him numnum on things as he feels like it. My MIL was down at the weekend, and the amount of times she "suggested" i make him some mashed potato is crazy (at least 8 times the first day they were down and counting). I think she thinks I am starving him by not weaning yet. I keep getting pointed comments about how my OH was weaned at 4months because "he was hungry"

...actually I think I might make MUM read the book, and if MIL or anyone else makes any comments I might just beat them with it.

Which is all very well, but no matter how strongly I stressed it, I can't help but think my MIL & FIL might think oh SURELY it can't hurt.... And Gt Gma simply wouldn't listen to my directions, and if she happened on te scene for a visit while I wasn't around, the whole shebang would go out of the window. Trouble is, I LOVE these people, I want them involved in my kids' lives, they have had LOTS to do with DS, they live close,. they help out all the time,..... From an outside, objective POV, I can see "well it's ONLY a spoon of baby rice "

My only hope, I think, is to make it very very clear from NOW what my plans are... and just make sure it comes up in conversation somehow so Ican mention how furious and upset I would be if anyone broke my EBF/BLW rule.

Edit - give them the book - great idea! Blast - I;ve already given the book away! BOTHER!

madasa...... You have taken the words out of my mouth. Glad I'm not alone in feeling like this....especially when I found an opened pack of baby rice in my Mum's cuboard....aparently my younger sister opened it to try it out of curiosity. Aparently it was foul...exactly!!! Why would I want to feed it to my son then?!!!

Agree with what madasa says; I love all of these people very much but just want my wishes understood and respected .
