Will you try Baby Led Weaning? Why or why not?

Question

Answer

I did it with my first. Never had a choking or even gagging incident. He eats like a champ now. My advice would be start slow if your nervous. I know you're supposed to dive in and offer everything but I found it worked best when I started with steamed veggies, soft fruit, then oatmeal, rice, etc.

Answer

Wait... I’m a FTM and I thought baby lead weaning had to do with breastfeeding ?? Can someone explain to me 😊

Answer

We absolutely did baby led weaning. It wasn't a hard choice in any way. All future babies will be fed that way as well. The benefits are never-ending compared to purees. Purees do virtually nothing for them, developmentally.

Answer

Honest question. Maybe I don't understand BLW lol. I did purees with my daughter starting at 6 months. Did this for about 6 weeks then moved to mashing food. Now at 9 months she eats almost everything I do as long as its soft enough and cut up. I didn't do BLW but my baby still eats regular table food. What is the difference? I've had a few moms judge me for using purees.. but here we are a few months later and our babies eat the same way.

Answer

Did it with my first and cant wait to do it again with my son. She did awesome with it and eats and uses utensils great now (shes 2).

Answer

My first loved it! She wouldnt eat baby food so it worked out great. Just have to do your research and do it safely!

Answer

I was going to but my husband wasn’t comfortable with it so we did purées first. My daughter wasn’t really interested in them and we were throwing away more than she was actually eating so we ended up switching to table food and now she loves to eat.

Answer

A lot of people love it. I couldn’t get past the gagging. I stuck to purées. My second baby also didn’t really want true solids until she was ten or eleven months. So I just went with it.
