We are doing BLW which my mum just doesn't get! Last night she was spoonfeeding her banoffee pie GRrrrrr!
However, we have started, but like you say just practising with food but Isabelle is getting it to her mouth and having a good suck, she cried when we did not give her any to join in with, so we know she is ready.
She is not joining us at every meal, just as and when she is awake, and has a pice of carrot, a lump of meat etc once its on the floor then its gone!
She loves fruit, and always has some when we are down for Yoga on a weds, but I think it's just the social side of eating she is learning for now, as nothing has got through her nappy yet!
