Suzie & baby M

I’m Suzie, and my baby, M, was born March 2011. We live in Istanbul and are just starting our baby-led weaning adventure. M’s been exclusively breastfed from birth and at 5 1/2months he started experimenting with food. I believe in feeding M foods that we’d like to eat ourselves. Eating is as much about deriving…

For those…

Introduction – Jess and Ben

Hi all! I’m Jess and I have a 7.5 month old baby (ninja?) named Benjamin. Ben was exclusively breastfed from three days old until he was five months old. At five months, he was displaying all of the signs of readiness for BLW, so we placed him in his high chair with some banana. He…
