I was at my Mums for a bit - it was awful! Try explaining BLW to a women who had four kids as was giving up all baby rice in our bottles at 3 months!

One thing I noticed though, is people act so wounded when you say you aren't giving jars, like their way must be wrong or bad. It's just our personal choice what we feed our own children!

So lots of comments about how she must be starving, and such a shame to tease her with food (she was eating a full slice of toast, half an organic natural yogurt and fruit each day plus milk). I was being told it's not working as she still needs the same amount of milk, but no one would listen that of course she does, as she's just started!

So went to Boots and got dragged to the baby food aisle and told that she would be getting some jars as I was being cruel. Threw my teddies out big style! We managed to compromise on porridge for her

My MIL thinks it's all new age hippy stuff too, but at least she read up on it online so is trying to see where I am coming from with this.

So, glad to be home now!

btw, what do you guys do for lunch and snacks when you're out and about? I prefer to take things with me for Niamh as where I'm eating isn't always great and I am not a fan of reformed chicken nuggets, chips and beans as one of the only kids meals available

I always chuck in some breadsticks and fruit - usually a banana.

Our mum never fails to amaze me with her traditional ways! Thats nice of your MIL to do a bit of background reading to understand it.

My MIL looked at me as if I was mad. My OH was fed baby rice from 9 weeks. I felt like telling her "yeah and hes got really bad stomach problems and food intolerances" but I just smiled sweetly. I cant wait to get started and prove them all wrong. My mums the only supportive one, my dad thinks Im incapable Im sure.

Does anyone else's LO just throw all the food on the floor and not even put it in their mouths or is it just mine? I'm so frustrated at the moment - he wont take anything but yoghurt off a spoon and throws all of his finger food on the floor! Any suggestions or is he still going to be drinking milk at 1! He's 7 months old if that's any help.

This thread has gone a bit crazy! And it's a sticky whoop whoop!!! I asked ages ago too Sparks. Glad it's here now though.

Sounds like everyone is getting on great! Hebe obviously enjoys her food. Rebecca sounds like she's enjoying things too. Good luck with the op for your cheeky monkey. Please keep us updated or we'll worry. Hope you manage to cope with your blw while your in there. Sounds like you're going well prepared though!

Not much to report from Oliver really. Still going strong with his food. He hasn't really gone off it with this hot weather. Just drinking more milk on top of it. He'll be the size of a house by the end of this heatwave !!!

I know how you feel today Rach. Hebe has refused all her tea - first she screamed at it them she swiped it all off on to the floor....Merv was delighted! I dont know of its the heat or she's getting ill. I wasa going to post here and say she's regressing but when I got her out of her chair I've noticed a rash covering a lot of her body

LO has a really snotty cold at the moment which is obviously affecting his appetite - I even tried one of those carrot wotsit things are that got thrown on the floor as well. I will try again when he's feeling better - but i bet the little sod would polish off a pot of yoghurt!
