We’ve read the book, we have a high chair for Art, we’ve got a new big family dining table arriving soon so what else do we need?
Firstly, Art isn’t quite ready yet. He’s 22 weeks tomorrow, and although he’s happy and able to sit up in his high chair unsupported by us, I’d like him to be generally sitting more unaided most of the time out of his high chair.
Secondly, he’s not the magic 6 months yet. I don’t mind starting him a bit early as he was a late baby, 2 weeks overdue, but he’s north ready.
The BLW book says he needs the following:
* be able to sit unsupported
* be able to get most things from hand to mouth in a coordinated way
* be making chewing motions
* interested in our food
He’s nearly there, but not quite.
