Food + Babies = messy!

So we've decided to give Baby Led Weaning a try. It's certainly entertaining! Since the wee girl turned six months this past Wednesday, we've given avocado, squash, yams and apples a try. I think that the apples and avocado are so far her favorite. Regardless of how much actually goes in!

As a friend of mine put it, why should a highly processed rice cereal be our girl's first non-breastmilk food? Especially now, when most of her nutrition still comes from breastmilk. Why feed her a food that is highly fortified with less digestible iron, when breastmilk provides lots of highly digestible iron?

Anyhow, without turning this blog into a mommy blog, it's something we're trying right now! :) Perhaps I'll get into emotional stuff sometime soon! That is, if I find the time!
