How do you prepare the food?

Question

Seems like everyone is doing BLW.. which is great but I get so scared that baby will choke. I have given her pieces of food and she literally will bite off a chunk and try to swallow. 
Anyways I have decided to stick with purees and slightly mashed up foods for a little while longer.

Answer

I won’t jump on the baby led weaning thing. There’s nothing wrong with spoon feeding purées. My son loves it.

Answer

This Facebook group is such a huge help!!

Answer

Our guy hated purées and I hated the idea of blw. So I had to get over it lol. The easiest thing was eggs made into an omelette cut into strips. He literally gums down in it and has done well with those as a first blw food. Just giving u an idea 💡. He didn’t choke or anything. I think he liked it for teething lol

Answer

Instagram: New Ways Nutrition, Feeding Littles, Mama Knows Nutrition. 
Total lifesavers!!! And if you don’t instagram they all have websites I believe.

Answer

I’m not with it. I know it’s trendy, but there’s no need to rush. Purées are good for baby’s digestive system and ensures they’re getting the right nutrients. And it’s a great bonding time.

Answer

I'm doing a combo of both. Personally I hate purees but she loves doing loaded spoons and it's nice to mix pureed fruit into her oatmeal. We only started blw last month though and she does great with it, if a little messy. Just do what makes you comfortable mama. As long as you transition them to "big people food" by around 9-10 months, our pediatrician said it doesnt matter as long as shes fed.

Answer

I like doing purées, then moving onto micro cubes, then moving onto bigger pieces. It worked for the first two and it’s what I’m doing with the third. 
I didn’t know there was such a cult like movement with baby food.

Answer

My son doesn't like purees so we do BLW

Answer

I've tried the VLW approach and he just doesn't care. Just smushes the food in his hands and smears it on the high chair. But he will eat from a spoon like a champ! I'm sticking with purees for now and will start giving him more solid food to hold and feed himself when he starts reaching for it more. He's happy to let me feed him for now. Lol

Answer

BLW doesn’t work for all babies, don’t worry about it!
