Recommend your BLW foods
I want to try BLW when LO get's to solids but I don't know where to start. What kinds of foods are ideal to start with, for her grasp, nutrition and safety? I guess I'm just looking for recommendations and things that worked for your LO's when you first started out. Also would like to know some things that maybe didn't work out, as in too difficult for your LO's at first either to chew, bite or grasp.
Side-note: Not wondering about appealing flavors, more so just what LO's were able to physically explore and safely consume at around 6 months.

Re: Recommend your BLW foods
Baked sweet potato "fries" in wedge or steak fry shapes
Wedges of avocado with the skin left on
whole wheat toast strips
strips of meat
broccoli trees and stem sticks
wedges of mango with the skin on
wedges of pear with the skin on, or the pear "core" with lots of flesh still on
yogurt on a big spoon or spatula
If you haven't read the Gill Rapley book on BLW, that is the ultimate place to start. That said, I have a blog entry that shares everything we gave to DS his first two weeks of BLW. Essentially, we did bits of whatever we were eating...eating a sandwich--we gave him the tomato slice and lettuce; having pulled pork--we gave him some shreds of meat; eating pizza--we have him the crust. His first solid was a slice of apple. The only thing we held off on was nuts and honey.
