Monomonday emotions & October word of the day.....

..........Nature

Just look at the anticipation on that face! Thomas's first attempt at 'real food' a very sloppy baby rice but to him it was a fantastically exciting experience!! The hands are blurred because they were shaking so much in impatience to have the next spoonful!

Up until now Thomas has been fed the way nature intended and he has thrived and developed beautifully. Guidelines over the years have changed and it is now recommended that you don't start to wean until much later - about 6 months (research shows that this leads to a more positive outcome - baby is ready to explore new textures and tastes, and there are less gastric problems experienced) ..... Well he may not be quite 6 months but he was certainly ready!!
