Hi everyone!


So I've started reading the Gill Rapley baby led weaning book and I'm waiting till little P - my first baby - is 6 months till I start giving her some food to try (which is just a couple of weeks away)...


It would be great to hear from other baby led weaning mums and see if anyone would be interested in meeting up over a coffee to share their experiences, and offer support and encouragement for us new to it all?


If you're interested let me know and I'll arrange a time and date.


Thanks Pia

My 8 a bit month old goes through stages of tucking in and then ignoring the food but have a friend with similar age baby who LOVES his food and tucks in 3 times a day with gusto, he seems to prefer the loaded spoon option. My boy prefers to get his hands in even with rice crispies...! Then another friends baby just puts his head near the plate and hoovers it up! We've started meeting once a week at 5pm for them to eat dinner together as although we try to eat with them, talk 'normally' and behave like it's a general dining experience it can get hard when it's just the 2 of you. More than happy to meet up but can only do Tuesday & Fridays (not am) as am back at work.

Just wanted to say thanks to those who came along yesterday - it was lovely to meet you and your sweet little ones. Great to see how well the babies can feed themselves too! Thanks for all the tips.


I'm feeling really excited about letting little P try lots of different things now....


Will set up another date in a few weeks time to see how everyone is getting on and hopefully meet a few more mums who couldn't make it yesterday.


Have fun!

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I may be a scrooge but to pay over £100 plus for a meal is a bit much. I understand that staff costs would be a high factor in this price and that being no transport on Christmas Day - pubs may have to pay car hire fees. The café in Christ Church will be doing a 3 course meal in the run up to Christmas for around £30 per head (Booking essential) so to charge an additional £60 plus seems somewhat unreasonable. The past few years, there have only been the 2 of us on Christmas Day, so we lash out and buy a lot of M & S food - ready prepared or with minimal cooking at a cost of between £30 and £40. We host the family Boxing Day onwards (8 - 10 people) spending around £60 on food and drink. Rather spend £100 for food etc over a couple of days rather than £200 for one meal. We are fortunate that we have the finances  to do this as many people are not able to do this. One family member with young children would find it hard to spend even £10 on a Christmas meal. Our kids come armed with plastic boxes to all family meals to take home any leftovers - so we are left with minimal waste- any veg and meat  get made into soup.

      That would be Dulwich Wood ward wouldn’t it? One of the wards Southwark added Nov ‘23. Maybe the estate against didn’t get the memo. Oh man what a shit show.
