Callum is now over five months old!\u00a0 The time has flown by (although some days have seemed endless, something\u00a0I’m sure many parents will relate to).\u00a0 Our little heart breaker is looking more and more like a little boy and\u00a0not so baby-ish every day.\u00a0 Its amazing.<\/p>\n

I recently attended a talk on solids at my local Community Health Centre.\u00a0 Not long after this Callum started showing much more of an interest in food, so we\u00a0tried him on solids a few days ago.\u00a0 Fun!\u00a0 So far Callum has had rice cereal, spinach, zucchini and carrot.\u00a0 And loved it.<\/p>\n

Prior to attending the solids talk, I was considering going down the baby led weaning track (for more information on this, check out this website: http:\/\/www.babyledweaning.com\/<\/a>).\u00a0 The basic premise behind\u00a0baby led weaning\u00a0is that you skip the puree and give baby soft foods (e.g. steamed carrot pieces) that still look like ‘real food’ which they can grasp and attempt to self feed.\u00a0 This concept is fairly well followed in the UK, however\u00a0the Community Health Nurse noted it is not generally recommended in Australia due to some speech pathologists advising babies need to learn to develop their mouth and tongue muscles starting with pureed food, then mashed and gradually moving to actual pieces of soft food…\u00a0\u00a0I’m still interested in the baby led weaning concept but decided to go down the more traditional feeding route with Callum.<\/p>\n
