Anyone doing baby led weaning?

Question

I’m new to this and started my baby off with oatmeal’s and purées and I want to wean him over to solid foods - how do I transition? I’m nervous about choking 😖😖😖

Answer

I have been doing it since the introduction of solids at 6 months, and she loves it too! She won't even open her mouth for purees so I just went straight to BLW and she has eaten tons of different fruits, veggies, and some meat (salmon, chicken, and lobster). I usually just give her what I am eating except I haven't introduced grains, sugar (other than fruit) or dairy yet. It is very messy but so fun! She gags a lot but that is normal development as was mentioned already.

Answer

Ive been doing blw since my daughter turned 6 months and its the absolute best! So much fun, she has tried so many new foods and loves eating. If youre nervous about choking try starting with softer foods, like over-steamed vegetables and things like that. There's also a major difference between gagging and choking; gagging is a very normal part of learning to eat and although nerve wracking to us it's not dangerous to baby! I would recommend either taking an infant cpr course or watching youtube videos on what to do in the unlikely event that baby actually chokes, just to ease your mind. I say unlikely because with blw you learn to cut and prepare foods in a certain way to where they do not pose a choking hazard. Join the fb group baby led weaning for beginners and beyond, they have many files on how to prepare food, meal ideas, questions and much more! I highly recommend blw, heres a few pic of my lo having the most fun with it 💕

P.s. be prepared for a mess!! 😂
