In the end, although I'd made a bundle of purees, I opted for baby rice as I could make it with my milk, he's not been great at taking medicine (Calpol and gripe water) so I wanted to introduce him slowly to the concept of food from a spoon and the rice would just taste like the milk he's used to, but with a bit more substance to it. I'm making it a little bit thicker each day and am aiming to get it to a yoghurt like consistancy before starting the vegetables maybe on Sunday?!
Maybe that's too slow a process, but I don't want to rush, he's still having his breast milk regulalry, and it's suiting us :)

| All ready to go, with bib, spoons, expressed milk, rice and bowl!! |
 |
| First face after first spoonful - bit like 'hmmm?' |
 |
| But he wanted more! |
 |
| I'd say this was a success! |
He really seemed keen on accepting the spoon, and opened his mouth ready for each one. He had quite a bit of it which I'd made with one spoon of rice made up with breast milk to a pretty runny consistency, so he had lots of spoonfuls.
Whether it will help him in the night I don't know, but as far as weaning goes, it's a good start!
