And one more thing- have you tried polenta? This is the one food that has never failed me- I hide all kind of other foods in it- pureed spinach/ lentils/most types of well mashed veg/mince/cheese/butter, the list goes on. It's soft enough to not hurt tender baby gums but firms up enough to roll into little blobs for them to pick up, it's easy for them to spoon up or they can just smush it around.

Well emza78, I thought so briefly! For a few days she started taking the spoon again - with us using the distraction techniques that others have posted about! But the last 2 days she has spat out all food again - though because this has included fromage frais, bananas, smoothies etc, I suspect there must be something else at play - namely teething - as even in the last few weeks when all spoon food and most finger foods have been refused - she would never normally say no to a yoghurt!


Am hoping that she can be coaxed to take the spoon a bit more again, but totally prepared for the fact that she may not as have just had about 6 weeks where she would not so think the days of that are pretty numbered....



It's not that I want her to take the spoon for any other reason that than it has been such a relief to see her eating casseroles, fish, vegetables again for the last few days, in a way that she simply will not with finger foods at the moment. It was with a bit of a sinking heart today that I made toast and...penne with cheese again, sigh!

I know this is an old post. My 11 month old daughter is so active that she hardly took a spoon. The solution for feeding her was sitting in front of tv on the floor and putting her on my lap so her body is rather inclined, somewhere between lying and sitting. H would then put her favorite kid show on and while she is watching, put soup in her mouth. The soup is neither very solid nor runny. Every four to five spoons I also offer a sip of water. Sometimes I record the shows that she loves and she actually overstuffs herself! What a change from a fussy eater to a great eater in just a few days! It was my mum who suggeted this method by the way.

      Thames Water

      Let them go bust.  Enact emergency legislation to ensure that the water still flows and the rest of the network operates. Why should we care what happens to the investors.  Have no idea could or would this work, and where next. And the workers will still be needed whoever runs the show.

      I think you might mean 'repossession' rather than 'reprocessing'.

      I think this is a bit of a myth.  It's true that some of the current owners are pension funds (chiefly the Ontario Universities') but they're global outfits, big enough to know what they're about. As for ordinary UK pension funds, they mostly invest in publicly-tradeable stocks, which Thames no longer is (it's a private limited company, not a PLC), so even those that lazily track the markets by buying everything in the index won't be exposed as Thames isn't in any index. In other words, it's a lot less complicated than Thames, the Government or innumerable consultancies and PR outfits would like you to believe. In case, incidentally, the idea of a cooperative offends any delicate Thatcherite sensibilities, I'd argue that it fits the Thatcherite vision of a stakeholding democracy much better than selling tradeable shares to the public very cheaply. The public, despite their blessable cottons, are too easily tempted by the small but easy win (which is how they sold off their own building societies, preparing the ground for the credit crunch and then the crash) and, as became obvious after every privatisation before or since, their modest stakes inevitably end up in the hands of financial engineers whose only priority is to siphon off the assets and leave the husk to either go bankrupt or get "rescued" by the taxpayers (who thus get to pay twice for nothing). The root of that is the concept of "limited liability" which makes it all possible, but even the most nauseating free-market optimist would struggle to predict the demise of that.

      Repossession? Oh no, that's really sad 😢
