How is BLW going for everybody? Wesley loves attempting to eat, but he still doesn't get much down. We are only 2 weeks in, so I'm sure he will figure it out soon.

So far, so good. Rhett has loved everything. He basically inhaled his hard boiled egg this morning. His favorites are probably sweet potato, broccoli, and banana.

We don't do much on a spoon, but he does do alright with oatmeal if I make it pret

DS seems to be a delicate flower and makes a face every time food of any kind goes in his mouth.  But, he ended up liking peaches (pureed, but he fed himself from a spoon), yogurt (same), and mashed potatoes.  He did not care for broccoli or

We've done banana, avocado, and last night bread, butternut squash soup and cauliflower. She doesn't ingest much yet but has liked it all so far. She gets frustrated with the slippery stuff though and I have to resist the urge to help.
