I just didn't feel like getting into it with our babysitter (her 3 kids all did purees) and I wanted to be able to supervise the finger foods myself. I've been sending purees and M hasn't had any problem going back and forth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-and-blw#post-863909 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:17:31 +0000 autumnlove 863909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to do BLW but my daycare doesn't allow finger foods until 10 months. We did BLW at home and we sent purées to daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-and-blw#post-863869 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:48:42 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 863869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any literature, but I'd talk with them about his their mealtimes are structured. Is an adult watching them closely while they eat? I didn't feel like my son would get the same eating supervision as at home, so we didn't start him on finger foods at daycare until 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-and-blw#post-863780 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:04:27 +0000 oahujeni 863780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 6 months and we are starting BLW. He doesn't swallow anything yet... Just gnaws on hunks of steamed sweet potato, peppers, carrots, etc. I send some stuff to daycare so he can be involved when the other kids are eating because he is really interested in food. The school has never had a kid that didn't do purees (they also checked with sister schools bc they are a brand) and nobody else has heard of BLW either. They asked for literature to have on hand in case corporate comes in and sees a 6 month old with a big piece of sweet potato. I appreciate their willingness to learn, but am amazed that we are the first to do BLW there. I feel a little weird about it actually, like I'm doing something crazy. Anyone else feel this way? Do you have anything that sums up BLW other than the book (which I'm also giving to them?) </p>
