Food-BLW
So I’ve been giving my daughter a mix of purées and we’ve started blw since she’s 8 months old now. Well every time I give her food my MIL flips out and tells us she doesn’t need to be eating food because she only has a few teeth and will choke to death. Then she makes me feel stupid and like I don’t know what I’m doing. I cut food properly and make sure it’s cooked right for her. I mean she’s 8 months old now.🤦🏼♀️ she’s been very interested in our food and loves to eat, she gags some, but hasn’t choked. I told her she doesn’t even get her chewing teeth until awhile from now, and her gums are very strong to chew her food. What am I supposed to do? Feed her purées and bottles until she gets all of her teeth?😑 because that’s what she’s making it seem like. This is coming from the same lady that gave her mashed potatoes and gravy at 2 months old and gave her tastes of whipped cream and all kinds of other stuff that I flipped on her about.🤦🏼♀️ Anyways, I told her that I’m her mom and if I feel comfortable giving my daughter food we eat, then she just needs to accept that and not try to tell me what to do. I have tons of baby food left that I’m going to be using too so it doesn’t go to waste, but after it’s gone I won’t be doing purées anymore. It’s so much easier having her eat food we eat because then I don’t have to worry about spoon feeding her while I’m trying to eat, she just gets whatever we get and feeds herself beside me in her chair. I was totally scared of feeding my daughter food at first and came here for advice, but after more research I became much more comfortable. She does so well!
