Eamon has started munching on some of our table food. I haven't given him any traditional "baby food" yet as I still think he's just interested in sucking and playing with the food, not actually eating it. He still coughs and chokes on anything that is not pure liquid so he's not developmentally ready yet. Plus, I'm just lazy. Feeding him pureed food means I've got to start making it, freezing it, defrosting it, feeding him, cleaning him off, cleaning the chair off... yeah, a lot of a work for this lazy mama.

I'm going to try the route of baby led weaning which you can find more information on here. It's where you skip pureed food and wait until at least 6 months to introduce solids where they are more developmentally ready to feed themselves and can handle chunkier food. I sort of did it with Jack, but he also had pureed foods. A lot of mamas I know do this. We're following the rule of "food before 1, just for fun." Yay!
