Is anyone being old school and not doing baby led weaning?! I’m too afraid of choking and like to see how much they are eating!

Question

Answer

Yea I’m not doing it either. I’ve done my research and honestly all these “pros” to me are minimal at best and just placing the possibility of choking way to high on the list. I don’t even want to give her a chunk of avocado no matter how soft. It was still be choke on.

Answer

People get choking confused with gagging. Gagging, although unpleasant, is a natural and necessary part of learning to eat. Once your baby starts solids, regardless if they started with purées, they will occasionally gag.

Answer

I’m so against BLW. I’ve known 2-3 people where there baby has actually choked. Full on, couldn’t breathe and luckily threw it all up after patting on the back. Baby food allll the way.

Answer

Just purées here. Avacado, banana, pear, apple, carrot.

Answer

I gave my LO a slice of avacado to see what would happen and she just sucked on it, hated the taste and threw the whole thing on the ground... I've done lots of different veggie purees and they get a gag every now and then. I also have a baby pacifier feeder thing I'm going to try soon. I like the idea of BLW to introduce different textures but it seems like a great way to watch your kid not eat food for an hour...

Answer

My LO gags on purée and cereal. He does really well with steamed broccoli, riced cauliflower, soft pasta. That’s about as far as we’ve gotten.

Answer

I just started my son on carrots and bananas
Bananas we LOVE. Carrots not so much - so I add a small amount of rice cereal to the puree and he gobbles it right up. Going to try sweet potato this week
