On the food front


We've been doing the whole solids thing for just over a week now. Luka's first food was kiwi fruit, for no particular reason just that I had some organic ones in the fridge.

We're not doing the whole pureed mush thing but what's called "baby-led solids or, baby-led weaning". So, you just cut the food into a chip-like shape and put it in front of him. Like everything else he picks it up and puts it in his mouth.

His 2nd food was broccoli cut into little trees. He holds onto the trunk and eats the tops, well, most of the time. Broccoli made a huge mess since it was pretty soft and broke up easily.

hmmm ... what to try next??? Maybe something orange ... probably sweet potato or pumpkin. Actually, it depends on what they have in the organic fruit and veg section!
