I’d like to introduce you to Brown Bear.
This is BiP’s latest BLW friend.
Since she turned 1 year old meal times have become somewhat of a challenge.
I guess the excitement of discovering the world on foot has become more interesting.
BiP no longer wears a bib and she is no longer harnessed in anyway to her highchair. She perches (precariously) on her highchair and eagerly wants to feed us all.
After a while her desire to feed us got old so we called in Brown Bear to be the object of BiP’s feeding affections.
I don’t know if this goes against Baby-Led Weaning or not but, hey, it works!
BiP loves taking care of Brown Bear, giving her water and “tastes” of what she is eating. It’s super cute and it certainly helps her stay at the table for a bit longer!
Does your baby have any BLW friends?





That is adorable!
That is freaking adorable!! Sebastian feeds us a lot and has offered drink to his baby doll. I’m excited to see more of this type of play develop. Way to find a creative solution!
That’s a great idea. We started letting my son bring a “friend” to the table too, but it was usually a truck or train. It helped get him to settle down and eat for a while, but eventually we had to ban the practice because the trucks had an unfortunate tendency to drive through the food and make a huge mess! You can only conduct an impromptu “carwash” so many times before you get tired of it. =)
