I am not a CIO mama either, and back in the day with Truman I did read the No Cry Sleep Solution but cannot remember it being too helpful. So did you just NOT feed him but you would rock him instead? And he learned not to wake up just by you rocking him instead of feeding? Or did you try not to touch him at all?

It's like they give you enough space just to get you comfortable at Blogger and hooked and then hit you with the charges. I think I pay something like $5 a year for additional storage. It's a small amount and I hate paying it, but it's easier to just pay than to switch my blog over to Word Press or something. Sorry!

I think we will probably start between 5 and 6 months too. Caroline is starting to be very interested with food and can sit unassisted, but doesn't really have the hand to mouth coordination mastered yet. <br /><br />Also, I think I say this every month....but he is just so adorable. I love long and lean babies! They are just so cute!

I was just telling someone else that the great thing with BLW is you don't have to pick one or the other if you don't want. You can very easily do purees for a while and then transition to table food. I love the saying "food before one is just for fun" - meaning babies aren't really getting nutrition from what they're eating now (purees or real food). Like the book says, purees fruits and veggies are basically diet food - they won't fill up on them or get all the nutrition they need from a puree. Babies should get everything they need from formula or breast milk until they're about a year old. Food right now is just getting them used to tastes and textures and letting them play. The book suggests to only give the baby food when he's NOT hungry (after a bottle) because he'll play with it more and won't be frustrated with hunger. He won't actually swallow much until he's about 9 months old. Right now he'll just get practice with new tastes and textures and getting food to his mouth. It builds hand-eye coordination and just lets him experiment. Just treat it like a playtime with a new toy. Feel free to let him play with food and try feeding himself. I bet you'll be surprised at how good he is and how much he likes it!Sara McCartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942635767083902005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-41942477041029944352012-12-03T14:51:02.554-06:002012-12-03T14:51:02.554-06:00There Mac is again being his cuteness self.. lovee...There Mac is again being his cuteness self.. loveee it!LacyLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549160484808736705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-80474552921894817092012-12-03T14:33:15.030-06:002012-12-03T14:33:15.030-06:00Can you do BLW after he's already been on pure...Can you do BLW after he's already been on purees for two months?

The whole point of it is to wait to start any foods until the baby is old enough to sit up on his own, shows interest in food and can feed himself, so they recommend waiting until around 6 months (as opposed to 4 months for purees). That way his digestive system is more advanced and he has control over how much and what he eats. If you're interest, get the book: http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Led-Weaning-Essential-Introducing-Confident/dp/161519021X<br /><br />As for sleep training - yes, I'll do a post on what we did. Although I can tell you right now it probably wasn't the "right" way to do things. :) I'm a weenie when it comes to hearing him cry, so we just kind of did our own thing.
