tomato bread - toasted ciabatta with tomato, olive oil and garlic rubbed on.

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.
