BLW Question

JDOJDO member
in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I think I already know the answer to this, but I could use a little reasssurance.

We still do more purees than actual foods but I'd like to change that. Especially after yesterday, when W ate both his lunch and dinner off my plate - no purees! My family was amazed I was letting him have bites of turkey when he doesn't even have teeth yet.

Did you limit certain foods before your LO got teeth?

    I never did.  If anything, I gave him more when he had no teeth since he couldn't bite a hunk off of something hard like an apple and choke.  He loved chewing on raw carrots and apples since it felt good on his gums, but once he got some teeth, I stopped the raw, hard foods like that.

    I haven't really started giving my LO a lot of food that he has to chew yet since he just recently got teeth but I was thinking about starting to give him some toast and maybe puffs??

    I don't really limit anything. I'm still only feeding him one food at a time though as his repertoire is pretty small, so he hasn't really had much off my plate. We never did purees though. The only food he is spoon fed is oatmeal (adult oatmeal, not baby cereal).

    Thanks everyone! W has had so many different foods so far and has never had a problem with them. I just second guessed myself after seeing how shocked everyone was yesterday. We're going to continue with what we're doing!

    Hi!  Our babies are almost the same age...My little girl is six months and three weeks old too!  I have a question for you about BLW...I really wanted to do this and skip the purees alltogether, but then everyone around me told me I was nuts and I got scared. 

    She is sooo interested in what is on my plate, and wants to grab anything/everything (especially french fries!)  Do you just let them grab and put whatever in their mouth and chew it?  I'm nervous...but I want her to feed herself too!

    How did you start the BLW process? 

     thanks for your help!

    I have some info about it in my blog, including how to get started.  I also recommend the book Baby Led Weaning.
