Lunch was last night's roast dinner! Chicken and roast veges. Ollie wasn't really interested in the chicken at all, but really enjoyed the kumara - munching and swallowing quite a bit! It was amazing to watch him move the food around his mouth and then intentionally swallow it. Pretty cool!
Dinner was pork steak with steamed green beans and broccoli, and mashed potato. Ollie wasn't too interested, but he had a really good go at the pork - actually biting chunks off, chewing and swallowing. Definitely a meat eater, our boy.
We are still having the problem of Ollie throwing himself backwards during food time, which is unsafe, and can cause him to gag. I'm not sure how to solve the problem!
Timing is also a challenge, though I think this is probably less of a BabyLed issue, and more about introducing food of any kind. It is definitely harder when David is home (hopefully he doesn't get offended by that... though I don't thinks he even reads this... or anyone for that matter) because during the week, Ollie and I have a different rhythm.
In February 2011, we started our (nearly) six month old son on "solid" food. Rather than going down the Plunket route of food out of a Watties jar, we opted for a baby led approach. Assisted by a university study, we set out on our baby led journey!

Sunday 6th March
For lunch today, we were out at family's house. Ollie was still sleeping when everyone else ate, which was a pity - I think he would have really enjoyed eating with everyone. Ollie and I had some food when he woke up, and he had a wee munch, but was too distracted! Peas, roast pork, roast chicken, kumara, pumpkin, and potato.
We were also home a bit late for dinner, we had beef patties, mash pot, steamed cauli. Ollie wasn't hugely interested in eating, but did play with it a bit.
