Weaning

THIS is the bit I have to say I dread the most, not nappy changes, sick bugs, potty training...there is something about a baby covered in food that I find REALLY disgusting, I appreciate its a stage that every baby will go through including my own but...*bleurgh*...pictures of babies with food all over them is not cute...at all. like this picture I found on the internet when I googled "weaning"...

This just literally makes me heave!! My best friend A is weaning her son and is clever and is weaning using NON pureed food- I think its the orange puree "look" as above that gets me. Also the above baby does not look amused at all lol....Now THIS picture below is cute, the imaginary weaning pic in which the baby has a clean face and hands and smiles endearingly at the camera happily about to munch away, not the screaming red faced baby that is throwing food all over itself and its poor mother! I very much doubt the below is the TRUE face of weaning and that actually the above pic is FAR more accurate! You just know that that white vest top is going to get COVERED in whatever is on that spoon, and probably her nicely styled blonde hair too. I will be battle ready, as A said strip baby to nappy, cover in a muslin - I will tie my hair back, maybe a plastic bag tied over my hair?! Is this too much?! I may even buy some biohazard overalls ha ha!!! Then baby straight in the bath..The only "people" to love weaning Im sure will be the dogs who Im sure will be only to glad to hoover up!
