Other BLW attempts
Since my last post I have kept up the BLW in a pretty relaxed way.
Theo seems well and really active and think he is def getting enough nourishment from my milk so I’ll continue feeding on demand and keep enjoying my trips to Paul (the yummy bakery in Xintiandi).
Yesterday I tried offering two veg, broccoli and pumpkin. He wasn’t interested at all, think he was too tired so didn’t really mind. I did “help” him put it in his mouth once just to see but he took a bite and spat it out and looked really unimpressed so that was that.
Later in the day I steamed a carrot and gave it to him, he was enjoying munching on that and by the time he was done with it, the carrot looked like a little mouse had been biting away at it. Today I found carrot in the nappy. I never found any broccoli from the other day… When is he actually going to start digesting things? Need to read more.
Today I decided to let him try a pear. I first gave him a quarter and then half. He seemed to enjoy getting the juice out of it and was making really fun biting-crunching noises. As it was pretty slippery business I had to keep picking pieced up off the floor (covered by my sneaky shower curtain ; )). He seemed to chew quite a bit but the contents of his mouth did regularly fall out on the bib. Later on in the day when I was eating a pear myself I just held it in front of his mouth and he took a bite, followed by a pretty funny face. I think I will try avocado again tomorrow.
