Aless - yay for an hour of baby-free time as much as we love 'em, it does us the world of good to recharge without 'em for a teeny while.

I didn't give Benjamin a bottle until he was well sorted with both booob and bottle because of the confusion over the smell - I just left it to hubby to give the bottles because that was the whole point of expressing in the first place!! I still find it strange to give Benjamin a bottle now.

yeah, we should probably keep it that way - the only reason I was doing it is b/c the milk had already been warmed (from when my dad was looking after him when we went to the coffee shop) so needed to be used up imminently & the boys were cooking dinner! :cool:

ooo, tara, St Ives is lovely, I'm jealous! :T

My Mum says they didn't call it BLW in her day, they called it laziness. My 91 year old Nan found it a bit odd, but not as odd as me stopping my meal to nurse my baby to sleep. She said I could stick him in his pram on the pavement instead.

I feel like I've missed big news today. I'm reading everything but it isn't going in. I'm having quite a bad day, so I apologise for not saying what I'm supposed to. I feel useless.

Just been speaking to DKAM on FB I asked her if it was ok to let you all know that she is doing fine and she said yeah. She is still not home yet but is ok as are the boys.

You aren't missing anything. If you are, I am too!!

I think the term Baby Led Weaning is a bit alienating to some, me included TBH, I don't like to say to people that we are BLW. The words just don't make a lot of sense in a plain simple english style that I am used to.

What drew me to it was the ease and the lack of worrying and no 'here's the aeroplane' 'just one more spoonful' stuff that smacks of a stressed mummy IMHO. I also like the fact that beginning weaning was triggered by physical factors (sitting, the ability to pick up food and put in mouth and the loss of the tongue thrust reflex) rather than by some mythical 'number' or age - because as we all know so well - all our babies are so very different
