How to start BLW?

Question

I can’t seem to find a solid answer, I’m sure there are many ways to do this, but with BLW do you skip purées at 6 months and just go straight into solid foods that are cut appropriately for baby?

Answer

It’s pretty easy. Just start introducing a soft solid once or twice a day. We didn’t feed our son purées at all. His first solid was soft (steamed) sweet potato sticks. 
My MIL tried to tell me that I was starving my son. That “he’s hungry” and “he can’t eat the solids yet so he’s getting frustrated” 
It’s true that in the beginning months of BLW, your child won’t get a lot of food in and actually EAT.. but that is not hurting them. 6m-12m is their time to learn how to eat. “Food before one is just for fun” they still get everything they need from breastmilk or formula. So don’t stress!

Answer

Follow on Instagram: Feeding Littles, New Ways Nutrition, and Mama Knows Nutrition. Super helpful! They teach you how to make and prepare foods in a safe manner for babies and tots!

Answer

Yes. The basic idea is that a baby is going to have to learn to eat at some point (move pieces of food around the mouth with the tongue, chew, swallow, gag, etc) whether it’s after a few months of purées or right away. BLW just lets them learn right away. I swear it ensured my daughter had a healthy curiosity about food and no aversions based on texture, but I’m sure others will be able to say otherwise.

Answer

Look up the firsts foods, then just soften they will eat more of the food and give it to them.

Answer

Yep! Our lo was meeting all milestones at 6m and ready. So we cut up our dinner appropriately and jumped in. I did Hold off on meat for a couple weeks because I was nervous lol but he's done sooooo well. 
I found a few pages to follow on Facebook and Instagram and watched a few YouTube videos before diving in.
