We have a hit on the food front with fruit....well the two we've tried so far. I tried the pear first and that went down very well. After a few days I added some baby rice to it and Noah gobbled it down. So today I decided to try apple. And he seemed to love that more than the pear. I decided to make up a fair bit and freeze it. First I gently simmered the fruit till it was soft. Then with my hand blender I just pureed it. I stuck it in some ice cube trays and froze it. When it was frozen I put it into tubs that I've labelled. I used to do that with Alex and he used to love apple and pear together. In a few days I'll try some veg. At the moment he's just having one ice cube size block a day.....perhaps a little bit more if its mixed with baby rice.
I was talking to my niece in law about weaning the other day and she mentioned that with her youngest she did baby led weaning. Having read up on it I did think that a blind, lactose intolerant baby probably wasn't going to do to well with that.
I remember with the others when they were weaning we used to have to hide to eat naughty things so not to feel guilty about it. I guess if you try and look for the positives in this then at least with Noah we don't have to do that. Mind you at the moment he seems quite happy to sit and chew on his hand....fingers...thumb.....bib....toys.....anything that he can get into his mouth including our fingers.
