We started F (24 wks) on baby rice at the weekend and they haven't gone down well at all. H thinks we should persevere. I think we should stop, carry on BFing for a few more weeks and then attempt BLW. H isn't convinced as purees worked well with our son, so he feels it's the tried & tested route - but he's willing to give it a whirl if I'm happy to try. So, now I've persuaded him to try BLW - how do we start? I've read some info on various websites etc. and am I right in thinking it's a case of simply offering chip size finger foods at mealtimes and going from there? Any big do's and don'ts I need to be aware of? And should all foods be well cooked so they are soft or will she happily chew on harder foods? I want to try and make this work as I'm sure it'll be so much easier than faffing about with purees, but must admit, am a bit nervous about trying something new.
Any advice gratefully received.
