Aside from cows milk, because of allergies and intolerance’s on my side of the family, we are all for M trying and eating anything that we’re eating. Not only is this a great way for him to experience a whole range of foods with no pressure, it might also clean up our diet, too! The…
I loved this video from Jess showing off Ben’s brilliant spoon skills and I’d been waiting all Summer to chuck Blake in the paddling pool outside and get him to try the same thing. Unfortunately here in the UK our Summer actually happened way back in April (no joke!) and so it’s never been warm enough…
When we first started BLW with Capri was 6 months we would give her large chunks for food so she could hold them with her fist and chew on them. For us this worked for a long time since she would just munch on things with her gums (she didn’t get teeth until around 10…
There are entire aisles in Target and Babies R Us full of “essential” baby dining products. There aren’t just cups – there are training cup SYSTEMS, with a variety of “stages” including endless combinations of removable handles, bottle nipple tops, sippy tops, straw tops, sport bottle tops, wide fat cups, tall skinny cups, and so…
This is an opinion piece based on my instincts and independent online research (ie Google searching). I am not a doctor, etc etc. You should make your own judgements when feeding your children and talk to your pediatrician as you see fit. I have posted a few times about bringing Sebastian along to sushi, and…
One great part of Baby-Led Weaning is that you don’t have to worry about shoveling food into your baby. Your baby eats when she’s hungry, and stops when she’s full. No playing airplane with the spoon, or “here comes the choo choo” or any number of other stressful methods for trying to get baby to…
“How can he chew with no teeth?” is the question I get the most when I suggest BLW to other mothers. Or when we’re talking about table food, I get “Well, I’m waiting for her to have teeth before we start.” Here’s the thing though. Babies get their FRONT teeth first and don’t get molars…
With BiP fast approaching her first birthday I started to question when does Baby-Led Weaning stop being BLW and become just eating? My answer? It doesn’t. Not yet anyway. The reason why? There are milestones yet to reach! They still need to work out how to: Use a spoon, a fork, a knife and fork…
A few mother’s, I have spoken to about BLW, have admitted the reason they didn’t go for it was because of the challenge of BLW in a restaurant. I am the first to admit that having a BLW baby means that they aren’t going to sit nicely in their stroller whilst you enjoy your meal…
So. There are a few articles on the site about what Baby-Lead Weaning/Eating (BLW) means to the various parents and some really great comments adding to it and some asking questions. Our two cents. It’s [baby-led]. Period. I think folks get too hung up on the type of food or what you’re feeding them or…
