Of course, there are some things he gets picky about, but for the most part, he eats really well for his age. It gets really fun when you can introduce egg yolks and things that are less messy but still fun and easy for them to eat.

We shall see! I have been pretty fortunate as far as the input on my parenting choices (which may look odd to some - openly nursing, baby wearing, cloth diapers), so hopefully this won't get a lot of unsolicited input. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! And we have PLENTY of plastic things around that were borrowed. No complaints when it's free! Hmm, I hadn’t thought about the comments from others.

I went to the natural baby store in my area, but they were sold out of the BLW book. I'm planning on ordering it online somewhere if I can find it (apparently the publisher is sold out). I have mostly just read online to get information, specifically the Guidlines PDF by the author of the book, Rapley http://www.rapleyweaning.com/assets/blw_guidelines.pdf I'm glad you came here and offered this information. It's also great to hear from someone that this has worked for! It makes me even more excited to keep trying things and exploring food with OBaby. Thanks so much Miriam!!
