So CPS arrived today for a scheduled lunch appointment. After talking with us and understanding a little bit more of what Baby Led Weaning was all about they find, in our situation, to be just fine. She watched as we all had lunch together, pasta, sweet potatoes and cucumbers (for him). The points they needed to confirm was, can he sit-up on his own, is the food cooked so he can mash it with his gums, or in the case of fruit is it soft enough is the food appropriate (no grapes & such) and does he have any problems with it, gagging, fussy etc...

It was upsetting that it had to come to this, as one can only hope that they have an understanding Dr. In our case we didn't. CPS will be closing this case.

For those who are thinking about it, it can be done. There is nothing wrong with it (so long as you are educated about it and responsible), despite what your Dr. might think.
