Getting to grips....
Yummy!
The remains!!
JJ enjoyed his first taste of broccoli today - not sure who was more excited - him or me! I cooked some florets for him and some sticks of carrot. I was expecting him to munch a bit but he annihilated 3 pieces!! He loved it and ended up covered in green bobbles - at one point sporting a rather fetching broccoli beard! He loved the carrot too, although I think I should have cooked it a little more to help it mush. He did bite off a few chunks which he rolled around his mouth for a while. He had a little cough over them but spat them out quite capably so I am glad I resisted the urge to scoop them out. One thing I will have to watch is his hamster-like tendency for storing bits in his cheek for later! Me and hubby have promised to cheek-check after each meal so we don't lie him down with food in his mouth.
The clean up operation was something to behold (those who know me will know that cleaning is not my strong point - I think that will have to change!).
Oh and the banana from the other day was definitely eaten as it has made its appearance in JJ's nappies - lovely! Can't wait to see how much broccoli made it through - sad I know.
Can't wait for tomorrow lunch time!

Yeah I was chuffed with the broccoli too - the nappy the next day was great! Will definitely try it again soon.
Thanks for posting - come back any time and if you have reached 11 months I'm sure you'll have some good advice if I get stuck!
Hi there,
Sorry am posting a comment on a really old post!
I have only just started BLW with my DS and he seems to love broccoli! Those pictures remind me so much of when DS has his broccoli.. ;)
He is still gagging quite a bit and isn't eating much, but I believe it will get better with time...!
Thanks for putting up this blog - it helps those who wanna know more but dunno where to look!
Hi!
I am posting on a really really old blog!
My bub loves broccoli! It was the first food I tried him with!
I stumbled across this today as I attempted a search on BLW recipes. My boy Balin is now 7 1/2 mths old and i was hoping to find something that showed different foods to try as the BLW process progressed.
My main interest at the moment is knowing & trusting in what foods I can introduce and when.
I am slowly going to work my way through your blog over the coming days/weeks, as I find the time, so expect a few more comments and possible questions if you don't mind!
