In reply to Marissa. No, at that age I just made sure everything was soft. Things like small chunks of roasted vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, red peppers, small pieces of meat like pulled chicken, soft fruits like banana, avocado, berries, scrambled eggs, etc. You can steam things, roast things, boil them...anything to get them soft.

Do you boil everything you give him ? My son is 9 months and I want to start BLW . Right now I make my own baby food and give him some food tiny tiny pieces .. sometimes when I am in a rush I will give him reg baby food from a store and I noticed he rather have homemade VS. store . But I would like to mix my homemade and blw

LOVE this! I did BLW with both of my sons, but with the second one it sounds like we had similar experiences!

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! Aubrey’s now 4 months and eating six 5.5 ounce bottles a day and I’m starting to think about how to introduce her to real food and I’m so conflicted and confused as to what to do, and this helps.

In reply to Jenna M.

i don’t have anything against them…i just don’t think they’re really necessary. He was perfectly capable of chewing/gumming soft things from the very beginning and i liked that it helped him learn to chew early instead of just swallow. i’ve also heard it helps them be more accepting of textures as they get older but haven’t experienced that yet so i’m not sure. but every kid is different. i know a lot of moms who tried BLW and their kids wanted nothing to do with it and just wanted purees.

Curious about your thoughts on puree’s and why you didn’t want to go with those first? Did you write about it and maybe I missed it?

Thanks!

This is a great post! I just forward it to my friends with LO’s. I struggled with the BLW approach because day care would only spoon feed. So we did almost exactly what you did and it worked so well for us! Oh little man eats everything and has a healthy appetite. I really enjoyed cooking for him and was always excited for him to try new things! He is also really good about chewing things and he knows when to spit it out if he has too much in there. He is just over a year and he is learning to feed himself with a spoon. They grow up so fast! Enjoy it!

Emma Kate likes to be fed and isn’t a fan of using the spoon yet. Her pincher grasp is pretty good but shes not a fan of chewing a lot of things just yet. She still takes about 32 oz of formula a day though!
