Not debating with you or what the La Leche league has to say. I'm just more inclined to do my own research (I can provide you with lots of articles to support my position just as I am sure you can find lots to support yours) and to do what works for my own kids.
The La Leche League is a wonderful organization, but as with every organization it has its own biases. I'm glad it worked for you and your child (children?) I'm merely providing my own opinion.
MRoseB,
As I said, at 10 months my kids were both eating whatever we ate. I was careful to make sure anything they were given was in bite sized (non choking sized!) pieces. As I recall, my girls were particularly fond of past of any shape and description. They liked ham and chicken, not beef so much. Cheese, but only a bit. Mandarin orange bits...whooee! Lots of those. I'll think some more and edit later.
