How to do Baby Lead Weaning

Whether you want to or not...

​Take your 8 month old baby, who has to date eaten ONLY small quantities of organic baby puree and of only limited fruits and veg  - most of it home made - a few tea spoonfuls once or twice a day at most, and take them across the world on 7 flights and to 4 states in the US in just 2 weeks. Afterwards your little one will have tasted pretty much everything you have eaten, whether you wanted them to or not!

You try to sit on a plane with an awake and alert and very interested baby on your lap and try to eat your meal without sharing!

I didn't give him chocolate, coffee​, alcohol​

​ 

or

​ 

​fizzy drinks​ though!

I tried to give him a jar of baby carrot and chicken puree on the plane on the way home yesterday. He looked at me lik​​e 'Bitch please? What's this pasty tast​l​ess crap!?' ;)

**Disclaimer: He'll go back to eating his normal healthy home-cooked food from today. So I am not going to defend any of the above if any judgey-mac judgeys come out on the attack about this. Yes I know it was a huge variety of not necessarily nutritious stuff in a short space of time. Most of those things were literally just little tastes on my finger though, or a small piece to gnaw on while we ate a meal. He ate those squishy squeeze bags of the baby food for his main meals while we were away (apples, pears, berries, mango, carrots, spinach, broccoli etc). He cut 2 teeth while we were away and has another 2 coming soon.
