Hi
I did the babyled weaning thing - more because my lo wouldn't let me feed her!!!.
They have a whole website set up about it with loads of idea's and how to start off.
It worked out really well for us and my lo has been able to feed herself since 6 months old and she will just about eat everything!!!!.She is now 17 months and loves her food
good luck
