I tried to start him at 6-7mths and he really wasn't interested, so I gave up and tried again at 10mths, lots of finger foods and the odd jar of fruit and/or veges.. He's a great eater now.
You are doing fine, if you are happy to wait a couple of months, it's not going to do any harm to her.. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

sounds like finger food may be the way to go instead of purees. check out some of the BLW baby led weaning threads we have. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

We started at 6m but my friend's wee girl wasn't interested till closer to 8m and HER mum was saying that she (my friend) didn't start till 9m.
If your DD is interested in finger foods then I'd just keep offering those and have a good read of the BLW info that's around as Bizzy suggested  ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |
