Diane W.-loved your post about Alaska. Would it not be wonderful to be away from all the negatives new Moms face when they choose to breastfeed. I need to say that my youngest went nuts for solids! At 5 1/2 months he was pulling food away from my face. Given the fact we are an atopic family, I was being so careful, one food at a time, one week sometimes ten days with the same food. Father's Day came and my husband was cooking Filet Mignon on the grill on our patio. I walked outside only to find him premasiticating the meat for Jason because he choked on the piece he ate without Dad chewing it for him!. Frozen banana, I used to give him those to teeth on, watching carefully to take them away when they got soft. Not Dad, he chewed them up and gave them to baby. It's primitive to some, for us, it was just practical! Donna
