Experience with BLW...(also posted in april)

I know I am ahead of myself but am doing some research on baby led weaning.  Any second time moms have experience?  Any first timers planning on blw?  I think it is a great idea and plan on doing this with my lo.  At first I was going to puree my own food but after thinking about it we will introduce soft solids without puree.

    We did BLW with DD and will definitely do it again with this LO.  I found it really easy.

    One of the best things that we did w/DS...check out the BLW book (available on Amazon) as it has tons of advice/tips, etc.

    We did BLW with DD and it worked out wonderfully. It was soooo nice to always be able to sit down to a meal as a family and not have to do any spoon feeding. We all just ate our own food.

    I want to do BLW but my kid is going to daycare - for those of you that did this, did you send purees for lunch? I'm actually thinking about skipping food while she's at daycare (since babies don't need anything other than bm or formula) and doing BLW at home in the mornings and at night.

    We did it with DD, DH and I think it was one of the best decisions we've made as parents :)

    I can't say enough positive things about BLW. it's so easy, and our little girl just really enjoys eating. She eats what I would consider an impressive variety of foods too, although it wasnt the magical guarantee that she would love vegetables like I had hoped it would be. :)

    We're doing BLW with my son.  It's been almost 4 months and we're loving it!  And I started reading up on it super early also.  I like to be prepared. Wink

    For me, it just makes sense and I love all the added benefits (no feeding, cheaper, healthier babies/kids, easier, etc. etc. etc.)

    We skipped food at daycare for the first 1.5 months we did it - because you're right, he didn't really need anything other that BM, and he had breakfast and lunch with us.  Once he was really competent with the food (no gagging, ingesting more than spitting out) we sent him to daycare with some easy foods first (mango, avocado, cheese) and after a couple weeks of that we just started sending him in with lunches.  Today he has cavatelli pasta with broccoli and grape tomatoes, and a tangerine.

    We did BLW with DD2 and absolutely loved it. It was so much easier! I was nervous at first, so I bought the book. I thought it was helpful, but definitely not necessary.

    I didn't start sending solids for lunch at daycare until DD2 was able to eat pretty much anything by herself. Then I just started sending mostly leftovers from dinner.

    We did it and loved it. I still used some purees (mostly those pouches out of convenience...DS actually still drinks those), but generally we did BLW. It was easy and fun watching him try new things.
