[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The no solids before 12 months is the Blossom approach:

It is not BLW, it is literally no solids for 365 days.[/quote]

Sorry but I see nothing about "no solids for 365 days" all I see is the girl from the show Blossom telling us about her choices and what worked for her family. Where did you get information about no solids for one entire year?[/quote]

Straight from the article:

[quote]I am here to say that labels mean nothing. And to prove this to you, I am going to tell you about myself; no labels needed. I have been married for seven years to my college sweetheart. We had our first son in 2005, and I nursed him on demand around the clock for 26 months – no pacifiers, no bottles,[b] no solids until 12 months.[/b] Son No. 2 was born in 2008 at home, unassisted until pushing. [b]He is still nursing strong and on demand, day and night, at almost 2½[/b].

Yes, as the PP who posted the quote with the links.  Blossom was the "some D-list Hollywood star turned crunchy granola mom" that I was referring to.

I agree with the PPs who say that sometime between 4-12 months, as your child shows the various signs that they're ready for solids, that you start them on solids in whatever way works for your family (whether cereal, soft purees, etc).  But withholding solids until 12 months has the potential to cause significant problems for your child later in life.[/quote]

I'd love OP to come back and explain if she's talking about Blossom's approach or baby led weaning.

We're clearly discussing 2 different approaches here.[/quote]
Why does the OP have to come back to explain?  Her post was very clear - she is talking about Blossom and her approach.  It is only the defensive BLW people that are talking about BLW.[/quote]

Hm, now I see it. I was not sure because of her spelling and the way she wrote it. My bad.[/quote]
