Weaning

I always thought it'd be so tricky this weaning malarkey. I had so many people including family tell me it'd get messy, that my washing machine would be on the go continuously due to the colourful clothing Oliver would present after a meal.

So here I am 4 days into the weaning and it's going rather well.

We've opted for the Bay Led Weaning approach. Somewhat contraversial over this side of the murky waters. It's not seen as the most accepted way to wean your child. Still, each to their own and I believe it may work for us and Oliver.
Thus far we're taking it slowly given Oliver turns 5 months on Monday. This means I've been trying a few fruits and veg and that's it.

So, it was pear this afternoon for lunch:



Oliver has already let it be known that he isn't a fan of grapes or apples but loves courgettes, pear and banana.
He has porridge every morning before his bottle and although he finishes the portion, he STILL guzzles the 8oz of milk. Greedy little boy!

I've tried some water too. He is getting the hang of his cup.
