weaning as a ftm

I have the Annabel Karmel weaning book, used it for my 1st little boy and now my daughter There’s loads of practical advice and easy little recipes I started by giving my little girl 1 “meal” a day at lunchtime, a mixture of purées or soft finger foods, then after a couple of weeks I gave her breakfast too!
And onther thing don’t rush with wheat or the grains which has a lot of gluten, because as an example my son 6-7 months old had an allergic reaction to it…
Check out solid starts app and instagram. Our first food was whipped bone marrow with breastmilk because its iron rich and soon after the had steak (suck the juices out of it). We did meat and dairy first and then veggies a few months in and only started fruit recently when she was 10 months. But I know it was not a conventional way of doing it! You’ll get a feel for it when you start and how baby responds!
Solid starts app and I took the NHS weaning webinar on eventbrite to help get started. We started with veg purees first and then fruits so she doesn't get used to sweet stuff. Later we've added allergens and increased to 2 meals a day now she's 7m old. Goodluck
We went straight in giving baby (at 6 months) what we were having, modified for her. For example, her first meal was sausages and mash. The sausage I quartered lengthways and only gave 2/4, her mash I made with breastmilk, and I served with steamed broccoli also quartered lengthways. I didn't give baby gravy due to the salt content.
Everytime I read FTM I think of female to male
