| Enjoying a strip of red pepper . |
I’d never heard of baby-led weaning (BLW) before reading about it on TheBump. I’d been planning to make my own baby food before I learned babies didn’t need to start on purees.
You mean, I can just give them food?
That sounded much easier to me and my husband. “Hey,
did you know you don’t have to give a baby mushy food?” I asked. “No. Then, why
would we?”
We wouldn’t. Instead we’re taking the BLW-route
which is a different path to the same result.
The method has existed for a long time, but the term
is new. It was coined by Gill Rapley who wrote Baby-led Weaning as well as an accompanying
cookbook.
When deciding to BLW a preemie go by adjusted age and read your baby’s cues. I’ve felt that using this method
has gotten me even further in tune with my son.
My blog can be found at Urban Flowerpot where I talk about raising Tristan and other fun things.

For more information on BLW I suggest reading the book and
finding the BLW group on FB.
