Baby lead weaning?

Question

I’m considering doing this! My baby is 5.5 months. When did you start? Please tel me everything you can about it. I’m a first time mom!

Answer

I started around 5 . 5 months when baby began showing interest in our food and got the hang of using a spoon when I gave him a few spoonfuls of water every day (very hot climate and he needed a bit extra hydration). We eat a lot of rice and topping style dishes, so we just put a bit on the tip of the spoon and feed it to him same with soft veggies. No corn, dairy, uncooked honey, or anything that requires serious chewing at this point.
Since I'm a little crazy about him making a complete mess, we also get dried fruit and melt in your mouth veggie straws for him to work on feeding himself, but that wasn't until a few months later at 8 months when he started grabbing the spoon while we were feeding him to try to do it himself.
Now at 9 months, he can feed himself the veggie straws, and they make an excellent distraction, buy he still hasn't gotten that he can put the fruit melts in his mouth yet, he's also just recently started drinking his water from either a sippy cup or an adult cup, with assistance of course.

Answer

Keep away from grains and processed foods as they arent a good match to the enzymes developed to digest the milk baby has been living on.

We started with mashed avocado, then bananas. We stuck to mushed fruits and veg I would warm chunked apples to soften them so she could gum them. By age of 1 we were partially chewing steak, pork, and chicken so she could eat those and she was eating fish with no problem.
