I listened to the talk too and really  loved it. I am practising it 
now on Heike (15 jan. 2005). At the moment Heike treats the food like 
any thing: she brings it to her mouth, tries it out and ingests some 
of it and most of it falls on my lap, the table or the floor. 
Unfortunately she is a vomiter and if she eats a little lump, she 
will throw up. As I am used to this ( I have known days with 4 
changes of my and her clothes) and Heike doesn't seem bothered at 
all, I don't think it is because her body doesn't agree to the food.
Thank you for summing up the little clips that we saw, this gives me 
courage to continue on the "Rappley" road, as my partner would rather 
just spoon in some apple sauce...

Stefan Kleintjes, a Dutch breastfeeding frienly childrens dietist has 
put an article by Gill Rapley and himself on the internet:

Don't forget to smile when you see the pictures of munching baby's!

Just like Evelien (7) who rather uses the carpet or the couch than a 
napkin...
