What solids are your babies eating?

Question

I've done some research on baby led weaning and letting your baby eat what you eat but I have no clue what's ok and what isn't. Like I'm terrified of choking. I also don't eat many single ingredient things so what's okay and what's not? I like the idea of my baby getting to try new things and taste my food but I don't want to mess him up haha. We've been doing purees and oatmeal lately and he's doing great.

Answer

BLW has been working great for us. We are eating together, always homemade, always healthy (no salt, no sugar, no honey and nothing fried). Yesterday for example she had muffins for breakfast (my first muffins ever lol) and loved it. We have no food allergies in the family so the pediatrician said the 3 days rule is not mandatory for us.  She never chocked until now but was also my biggest fear. All babies are different so you should see what works best for your LO.

Answer

This helped as well to figure out the sizes. My LO still prefers them steamed but I try to offer her fresh options too :)

Answer

Same here on the baby led weaning! I know the purpose of the single ingredient foods is to identify allergies.

Answer

join blw for beginners on Facebook. great resource. been very helpful to me.
baby can eat anything you eat except things with honey. you should always model eating so mealtimes together is a must. cut foods at finger length and squish things like blueberries.

Answer

Right now we are doing single ingredient foods, even if they aren't what is on our plates. She started with broccoli, straight from my plate and we gave her it for 3 days, then we tried banana because we eat a ton of bananas. Next was sweet potatoes and then butternut squash and now cauliflower. She eats when we eat and doesn't seem to mind that it's not the same as what is on our plates. As she tries more and more I will be more willing to serve what is on my plate.
