Let the Adventure begin!

Baby weaning, ahhhh!  The thought of it fills me with dread.  Mental images of my baby and kitchen caked in bright orange mush with spaghetti draped over the chairs have been plaguing me for weeks.  I've put it off as long as possible but with the dreaded 6 month deadline looming in the way too near future, I've had to accept the inevitable; I can't breastfeed this baby forever! 

So yesterday, after I was given a horrified look by my health visitor when I told her that Baby Marshmallow hadn't started on solid foods yet (they ARE still recommending that babies are exclusively breastfed for 6 months mind you) I decided to see if Baby M wanted to join in at dinner time.  By the end of the meal my kitchen didn't quite look like my over dramatic mental images but I did have a baby covered in cucumber seeds and a table littered with gnawed on carrots and slimy cucumber carcases.  And one very proud baby, he LOVED it! 

We're going to try Baby Led Weaning this time around, I'll keep you posted!
