It's called the Rapley methode, or you could 'google' baby-led weaning.
I did a lot of research about becoming a mom from when I was 14 years, since I loved biology and I just came across it one time :D
As a mom, I wouldn't think I'm original at all xD
As for original, have you heard of Priscilla Dunstan? She had such good ears that she 'invented' 'discovered' that babies have their own universal language based on sound pitches (!)
Great, thanks @newlifeprojects, I've only heard in passing of baby-led weaning but not looked into it properly, so I will do that! I will also look up Priscilla Dunstan as no, I've not heard of her before, but I always enjoy reading about different ideas and experiences.
This is the best thing about hosting the SCC - I learn so much from everyone who I end up in discussions with! :-)
