We were eating dinner and Maeva had a little pout like she wanted something too, despite having just fed.  Since she is so close to 6 months, I thought I'd let her try something. I had bought some organic peaches and apples with the intention of making a bit of food for her, but it has been so hot.  So I mashed a little bit of ripe banana instead.  She loved it!  I heard an interview on the CBC with the author of Sprout Right and I heard this quote, not sure if it was the author herself or one of the other speakers, but it was along the lines of "food before one, is just for fun".  Looks like we'll be taking an even more relaxed approach than with Anderson.  I will try to do up batches of food, but we'll also make do with giving her a bit of what we're eating.  I know a few families who have done this and it worked quite well.  Breast milk as main source of nutrition for that first year, while trying out new foods and learning what that is all about.
