How are you introducing foods?

Question

Answer

Both!

Answer

We are doing a combo of purees and BLW

Answer

I might switch to blw when dd can sit upright properly but until then I’m being relaxed about purées and just continuing breastfeeding.

Answer

My little one started at 5.5 month with oat cereal (on days no oats he had carrots) by the 3rd or 4th time he had oats (1/2 time no reaction) we went vomit to shock roughly 2-3 hours after ingesting and ended up in the hospital with a FPIES diagnosis. So all food now is on hold until he sees a allergist.  So he is only getting breast milk.

Answer

I’m doing both as well, my daughter has bad reflux so I’m going to give a purée once a day and then do blw once a day so hopefully the purée helps a bit with the acid as it’ll probably take a bit for her to get much food blw way. She has a bad gag reflex so she’s already gagged quite a few times in the past few days that we’ve been doing it

Answer

Hi!! 
I was between this too, until 2 months ago I was gonna start purées, but I changed my mind 
Eating at this age until the age of one is fully an exploratory thing 
We as mums introduced purees many years ago for a couple different reasons:
1) we are scared of choking
2) we are scared our baby wouldn’t eat enough otherwise- we control the amount when we feed purées 
3) we are new moms and we wanted the experience 
Well, I have completely changed my mind on purées and realized it is something that we invented that doesn’t bring the baby any type of benefit, whereas BLW does. 
The main source of nutrition STILL has to be milk, formula or breast milk. A food mean does NOT replace a milk meal, because food is completely exploratory until the age of 1 
With BLW, children become independent eaters which believe it or not ties into MANY life benefits, become more independent , helps make decisions... it has many benefits . It also helps the child in the future have control over food, deciding when they’re full etc.. they have control. 
Plus, they get to feel the different textures, smell different things ...
There is not more chance of choking with BLW, maybe even less! 
Anyways, I could keep going hahaha, just wanted to share maybe you can look into BLW and how many benefits it has on baby’s health! :)
