What Benjy has been eating.

Benjy loves to nurse.  When it comes to eating actual food though he is not a big eater.  He loves Mum Mums and will happily eat a package of those.  However, everything else is hit or miss.  He is 8.75 months old.  He does like carrots and will sometimes eat purees.  He does like to feed himself stuff.  He will chew on a chunk of banana, carrot or red pepper.  He finds the red pepper pretty good.

We are doing a form of baby-led weaning. He does like to chew on things.  I am not totally against purees, but I don't give him everything we are eating.  Last night he actually ate a 1/4 jar of carrot puree.  He seems to eat very well when the Chief feeds him.  So the plan is for the Chief to continue to feed him.

I go back to work in a month so I am hoping that he will start eating a bit more as he does not take bottles very well.
