Feeding Solids

This time round I have a very independent feeder. Ellie likes to do things herself when it comes to feeding and solids. She even tries to get her fingers in her mouth when breastfeeding which is most frustrating! We've been going along the lines of what they call Baby-Led Weaning or Baby-Led Solids and it has been working well for us. It means less time spent pureeing foods and more time watching Ellie concentrating on picking up bits of food of her tray table which is extremely cute and mesmerising. The first thing we tried was grated cheese which she absolutely loved, now we're up to very soft cooked fingers of carrot, sweet potato and beans. She loves gnawing on chunks of bread too! One day we'll learn to use a spoon but for now she is very happy practising her pincer grip and hand-eye coordination! It's messy but fun!

Luckily she absolutely loves bathtime at the moment!

And looks ever so cute wrapped up in a towel :D
