I am in this vicious cycle of fear/guilt. My baby girl just turned 11 months old, and I have been venturing into stage three baby food since the age of 9-10 months. I have this horrid fear of her choking and me not knowing what to do about it. Even though I have watched numerous videos on Baby first aid/CPR and have a life vac, I still don’t trust that I would know what to do in that situation. I know that it is probably time to dabble into other foods and not

Just stage three baby food for the sake of her having a healthier diet and the mere fact she will be a year old in less than 30 days. I am constantly ridden with guilt that I was too anxious to do baby led weaning when she was younger. I am now even more scared of her choking because I haven’t introduced her to solids already, and I feel like she’s not going to know what to do with them now. The past few mornings I have offered her a scrambled egg with kale in it, and I have offered her avocado in small chunks. But that’s all I have been able to do. I do not want my fears to hold her back but I feel like that’s what I am doing now. It seems like no other moms can relate when I try to talk to them about my anxiety on this topic.. they just look at me like I am incompetent and it makes me feel even worse and alone in this situation. Has anybody else struggled with this, and how did you get over it? I would also love suggestions on good foods to start with.
