Anyone doing baby led weaning? If so are you mixing it up with mashed foods as well?

Question

She won't eat much veggies/fruit. The only veggie she will eat is asparagus. Maybe because the length? Broccoli she won't touch or much fruit unless I feed it to her. Any tips?? Tonight I did mashed squash but I fed her and she ate all of it 🤷‍♀️

Answer

My 9 month old just picks the food up looks at it and throws it on the floor so I just feed her either mashed up foods or bites of what I’m eating.

Answer

Are you making sure that youre cutting everything correctly? And if youre feeding her instead of her feeding herself (even with the mashed foods) it just falls under traditional weaning instead of baby led.

Answer

We’re doing puréed meats because she doesn’t seem to like the textures of cooked meat!
Other than that, just food food!
We also use purées into popsicle molds for a cool treat in the summer!

Answer

I make my own purées as well as feed her real food.
Last night we did avocados and puréed food.
The only real food we’ve done so far is banana, avocado and eggs.
She’s 6.5 months. So not fullly ready to grasp food and eat it herself quite yet.

Answer

I did a mix of BLW and purées with my second. 🤷🏻‍♀️ She preferred food food around 6m and then she didn’t mind the purées a month or so later. She’s 10m and regularly eats both.

Answer

Just keep offering! My kiddo is 17 months and we've done BLW since 6 months. She still goes through phases of loving some foods and hating others, and they change all the time. For a month she basically just ate raspberries. Now she's ambivalent about them. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂
