Baby Led Weaning - an update

Thomas Dinner Time
So apart from normal feeding (i.e. milk and the pureed steamed or poached stuff we make up in batches at the weekend), we've also (as we said we would) tried Thomas out on a selection of finger foods -
Baby Led Weaning
- with various degrees of success (and mess) -
Baby Led Weaning
- the only real problem being, while he is now *excellent* at reaching out and grabbing objects (and then maneuvering them into his mouth/eye with the speed of a world class tennis player serving an ace), he isn't terribly good at actually hanging on to them for very long, meaning protracted sessions of food retrieval and dusting off (if one has the patience) and the occasional "Oh well done Thomas!" only to find the food a few hours later where it ended up under the sofa...Anyway, it's working, he's managing to eat stuff all by his clever little self, but we're not going to rely on it entirely, he's now having 3 meals a day served pureed and spooned (and doing an excellent impression of a baby bird as each spoonful comes into view)...very cute... ;)
