"Health is a large word. It embraces not the body only, but the mind and spirit as well;...
and not today's pain or pleasure alone, but the whole being and outlook of a man."

Baby led weaning

Lisa Vance - Monday, January 23, 2012

Well, an exciting time for me, my daughter just turned six months and was able to sit unsupported for the first time yesterday.  We have managed to successfully exclusively breast feed her so far.  BIG HIGH FIVE :)  and now it is time for another mile stone. 

Introducing infant led weaning... which by the sounds of things is going to be LOTS of fun.  And it involves no puree` and no special meals or jars of baby food.  Just a place mat, a high chair and some appropriate foods and a baby... and an eager parent camera in hand.

There is some wonderful information I have come across about infant lead weaning but really I have my special friend to thank because she introduced me to it.  I stood in amazement as I watched her 7 month old feed herself and REALLY enjoying getting into different flavours, foods and enjoying the tastes and textures from chicken pieces to cherry tomatoes to mango.

If you have a little one... I would highly recommend it... and will let you know how I go :)
