Why Choose Baby-Led Weaning (BLW)?

Baby-led weaning is a wonderful approach for multiple reasons:

  • Enhances chewing and swallowing skills
  • Promotes hand-eye coordination through food grasping
  • Helps babies differentiate between various food textures
  • Reduces the risk of choking on solid foods
  • Empowers babies to decide how much to eat, thereby minimizing overeating

Personal Musings on the Journey

Here are some thoughts and updates from our baby’s food journey:

  1. FuFu currently has no teeth and relies on her gums for chewing.
  2. If she encounters a piece too large, she instinctively spits it out.
  3. FuFu can now enjoy hot pot meals with us—just a quick dip in broth! 🍲
  4. During our sesame allergy days, FuFu was all smiles, making clean-up both a challenge and a joy.
  5. We recently purchased Eden organic canned beans, which make meal prep easy and worry-free! They can be frozen after opening in silicone portioning containers.
