Just wondering, I've given Jack a few yogurts and purees the past few weeks, would it be okay to stop them and wait another 2 months and do this? He doesn't eat much of them, spits them out mostly, although he does like his yogurts... I don't really think he'd miss them tbh, and this sounds like such a good idea!

Yep, perfectly fine to do that

Thanks Nic! Thats a great explanation of it, like you said, without having to read the whole book! It took me loads of research to find out about this to start with (beofre it came on here really), so I'm glad people have a place to look now.

BUMP!!

I Needed a Lil Reasurance On BLW Cus I Didnt Have Time And Couldnt Be Arsed Te Be Totally Honest To Read The Long Books So Not Been Sure If Im Doing It Right, But Its Seems Right, Does Anyone Have a Huge List Or a Website Or Something Of Things i Can Feed My Daughter Of 6 Months Or Even She Can Eat Everything But; ?

Because Atm Ive Only Gave Her Toast/ Bread, Carrotts, Potato, Biscuits, & A Bit Of Sponge Cake. So Not Very Exciting, Im Very Wary Of What i Can Or Cant Give Her.!!

Thanks For Your Help x

Or You Can Email Me Miss_Barratt@hotmail.co.uk

Hi, at 6 months you can give her most foods that you eat just be careful of the amount of salt and sugar in there. The more variety the better and just avoid nuts and honey. I'm doing BLW and I offer all types of fruit & veg, toast etc. x
