So in attempt to create mouthwatering meals for my little man I have been googling (thank god for google!) and have come across some great sites that I thought would be worthwhile sharing:

So far for us it has been simple purees and thankfully there has been nothing that our little man has turned his nose up at. His current "menu" consists of:
* Potato
* Pumpkin
* Sweet potato
* Banana
* Apple* Pear
* Rockmelon
* Carrot
* Broccoli
* Cauliflower
* Zuchinni* Rice cereal
* Rusks
He is at the point now where he is really wanting to feed himself - grabbing at the spoon or bowl, using his tommee tippee mesh feeder to shovel banana in his gob and gumming a rusk until there is nothing left.
This has led me to look into the baby led weaning route...something that is often mentioned on parenting forums and at mothers groups.

BLW basically introduces solid foods as exactly that - solid! Rather than pureeing, you simply cut food into bite sized pieces and allow bub to feed themselves. For us, I think it is about balance - B loves his pureed vegies, so I wont be taking them away anytime soon. On the other hand he is keen to do things for himself so we will start giving him a few bite sized pieces for him to explore.
I would love to hear what sort of feeding journey others are on... do you make your own or buy it? purees or BLW? When did you start??
