we had pasta with tomato sauce and cheese for lunch today. i made a sauce with tinned tomatoes, garlic, basil and a lo-salt stock cube. pretty simple really, and i had to add salt to mine as it was a bit strange without it. i grated soya cheese to go on top but chickened out and had normal cheese on mine.
charlotte slurped up and swallowed 3 pieces of pasta and sucked the sauce off loads more. i was so impressed with her. she did gag on one bit and spat it out, but still went back for more. hooray!
she wasn't so impressed with the boring old squash and broccoli chunks that i steamed for tea, but did have a good amount of her alpro peach yoghurt. she's still coughing loads and if she's still bad after the weekend she'll be off to see the doctor.

charlotte and me
background
when Charlotte was born, like all new parents, Tom and I were determined to do the best for her. in our case, this involved breast feeding to 6 months to reduce the risk of her getting the family eczema, asthma and hay fever. i hadn't really considered what came next, so coming up to the 6 month mark i researched weaning and came across the Gill Rapley paper. baby led weaning seemed the obvious next stage for us, so i looked for books to give me some guidance.
as most blw mothers will tell you, there are no books. there is no need as every baby is different, and as long as you stick to the Gill Rapley guidelines you can't go far wrong. i noticed that other blw mothers had blogs and these seem to be the best source of information and tips. i hope that my blog is as useful to you as they (still) are to me.
