well sorta... to me anyway...

DD had her first meal in a restaurant today where she ate from the menu (sortof)

I went to a sushi place and one of the rolls was chicken and avocado, both of which she has eaten, so I just asked them to give her a piece of chicken and a piece of avocado on a plate instead of in a roll.

wow! cool! but yeah... like pp asked... how did you do the chicken? I thought meats weren't supposed to start until around 8 months (I know all families are different though)

The chicken was cut so small it  may as well have been put in the blender.  The booklet our health dept. sent out said to start with cereal then meat...even though I did veggies before meat.  Then to do grains and milk products at 8 months...

They change the rules so often!

I am doing Babyled weaning in the sense that she self-feeds and eats a lot of what we eat, but I do mash things that make me too nervous... Some things like sweet potato and broccoli I give to her just super soft, but I figure it's about learning how to eat different textures, and mash is a texture, right?!?
