[blparent] Infant led feeding

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I hadn't read a book on it, but I followed the basic concept of giving my 
baby small, soft pieces of many of the things we adults were eating during 
the second half of her first year of life.  It seemed to work well enough, 
in that she adapted to table food well and had no problem switching easily 
to solids.  She's as picky as any six-year-old can be today, so I don't know 
that busting my butt to keep nursing for the first year and sticking to 
organic baby foods and infant-led feeding did as much good as I had hoped it 
would.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may 
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

dear collective wisdom:
Have any of you heard of or practiced infant led feeding? In the UK it is 
called infant led weaning. Basically, it is letting your child feed 
themselves starting from about six months of age. You use small pieces of 
what ever you're eating. There is a book on this on iBooks. It is called, 
infant led weaning. There is also a cookbook. I got the book on infant led 
weaning and I am curious if anyone has tried it and what it has been like. 
Thanks for any help.
