Is anyone doing Baby-Led Weaning?

Question

My daughter is 5 1/2 months so I'm trying to prepare myself for when she's ready for solids. She is EBF, but that doesn't make much of a difference.

When doing Baby-Led, do you introduce one food at a time as you do with purees, or do you give baby multiple foods at the same time? There is no history of allergies in our family.

Thanks!!

Answer

Her pediatrician recommended one taste of food a day during her 4 month appt, but just a taste. She's now 5 months. We've given her avocado, strawberries, blueberries, banana, sweet potato, peas, rice cereal, coco butter, and peanut butter. We introduced one food every 3 days and we would just give her a taste when we first introduce it. After that, we just put the fruits in this mesh thing for her to chew on. She loves it and will cry once we take it away lol  we were just a little cautious because food allergies and eczema runs in my husbands side of the family so we didn't do the one a day food taste. So far so good. Our LO loves to eat and try new foods.

Answer

I started with slicing up avocados & sweet potatoes. She loves them so much, she freaks out screaming when they are gone.

Answer

My son is the same age and also EBF. I'm thinking of doing a combination of BLW and purees (more BLW). I figured I'd introduce vegis first, one/per day for a few weeks then give fruits.in my opinion, with fresh veg/fruit, it's so unlikely to cause allergies that I wont bother trying to space it out so much- but that's just me.

Answer

I'm doing baby led weaning, and I read the book. Tons of helpful info in it. We are not doing purees or waiting to introduce foods. She will eat what we eat. She has been having fun mushing mashed potatoes and refried beans. She even tastes some chili broth off my spoon last night.

Answer

You can do it either way. I just started with a week until he's 6 months. I've given 2 foods at a time so far.

Answer

Thanks, ladies!!

Answer

1 food every 4days.

Answer

I still do 1 food at time. While no allergies run in our family, I don't want to over load with all the taste/ textures and if they're is a reaction I want to be able to pin point it.
