Was Baby Led Weaning successful for you?

My LO is 5 months and so I have been researching ways to introduce solids once he is 6 months. I came across baby led weaning and was wondering how it works if anyone could explain it to me. I understand it is finger sized pieces of soft foods of what you eat but do you introduce foods slowly like you would purees? As much details as you can give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks 😊
