Minnie Minday 17 - Weaning.....

There are so many mixed messages out there about weaning - the Health Visitor etc all say you should wait for baby to be 6 months but many friends obviously did it earlier as this is a new time scale within the last few years. Some friends had one child who was weaned at 6 months to find with baby two that they were advised not to....but still went on it at 4 months. A friend I spoke to on Saturday even started hers at 13 weeks! There are so many mixed messages - allergies if you start too soon, digestive systems not being developed etc etc

I have been reading up on it and thought I want to get Minnie started - if she gets an upset tummy or any adverse reactions then we will stop obviously. I am only giving her a couple of tea spoons a day as the weaning books advice. Today we started with a very, very smooth apple and banana puree. After the first taste when she pulled a face she was pulling the spoon to her, she loved it! I'm sure her formula milk will be a boring taste now after that!

We shall see how we get on.........

Other things today have involved more eBaying, food shopping, eBay posting out and a big walk with Minnie :)
Dinner tonight is pizza we have a pizza mountain in the freezer!, a bit of pasta with pesto and a huge salad with halloumi......a bit of everything to dig into, my kind of dinner :)
