1. Baby led weaning: when does the food actually start going
into the mouth?

 We started baby-led weaning a couple of weeks ago.
 Tonight I noticed no food going in, but there was sweet
 potato and squash everywhere else-- one of the twins
 had it on her leg warmers, every other piece of
 clothing and pretty much every limb. And yes, her face
 was adorably orange.So...for those of you doing BLW or
 who have done it in the past, when do they start
 actually eating? The kids are an adjusted 6.5 mos
 now.Alessandra

3. Balancing solids and milk
--------------------------------------------------------
ppatcat - 3/6/2013 1:43 pm

 Our b/g babies are 6 months today and for the last
 couple of days I've been giving them 1/2 Tablespoon of
 avocado at their 11:30 feeding time. I first give them
 3 oz of breast milk each, followed by the avocado, and
 then 4-5 oz of formula (depending on which baby).
 Sometimes they finish the formula and sometimes they
 don't. I understand they should still get all of their
 nutritional needs from milk, and the food is more for
 taste, texture, and habit than nutrition --or at least
 that's what I've been told.I have a couple of questions
 and could use some collective wisdom:1. We've been
 holding them during the feeds, should I put them in
 their bumbo chairs for the solid feed portion? Our son
 can sort of hold the bottle, but our daughter can't
 yet. Is it too much jostling around to hold for the
 breast, bumbo for solid, and hold for formula? Our son
 tends to spit up unless he's burped really well.2. 
 When do I increase their solid feeds to more than once
 a day? Also, how much do I give them if all their
 nutrition is supposed to come from the milk? Should I
 decrease their milk consumption? By how much?3. How do
 allergic reactions manifest? Neither has had any
 obvious reactions but it's only been a few days.
 Thanks!

 OT), plus a health care stipend. She cooks, does light
 housekeeping, drives, has several years of experience
