Baby Led Weaning | Basics for Beginners

[@karlielewis2023]

I’ve had 3 babies and I always come back to this video as a little refresher when it’s time to start solids ❤ so informative!

[@shanteljimenez2030]

Not all spoon fed babies are forced fed lol children should be eager to eat, regardless if it's blw or puree.

[@JosefTorkelsen]

Yup, my baby loves to eat via the spoon and will keep her mouth open like a bird

[@BubblyAlways14]

I'm not even a mom and I enjoyed learning about baby led weaning!!!!! I did pass it along to my best friend who is pregnant, so hopefully she finds it helpful!! Love you and Gracie!!!

[@tins0217]

Love that you are helping others with this. My daughter was BLW and is now a very awesome eater (she's almost 3 now) . Not picky, eats well and knows meal time is just for eating. It's easy to bring her to restaurants too. Very thankful for BLW technique.

[@TheCoolCookieKitchen]

Very helpful video. Do you nurse a certain amount of time before eating solids? Example nurse and then 30 min later have dinner? Thanks!

[@maebla]

I suspect you often get 'negative' feedback due to your post, but I think it was incredibly informative and very well thought out! My little one is almost 4 months and when she is showing the ready signs around 6, I will definately be going the BLW route :) Thank you for your wonderful video, I subscribed instantly... and thanks for showing us your scrumptious little trooper embarking on the adventure of food, she was an absolute delight to watch!

[@maebla]

Actually just read all the comments and looks like you got very few nasty remarks! Yeay for you... internet people can be so cruel :(

[@nenel0v3s]

@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever not necessarily, the baby should be showing some interest in food, holding head up, and chewing/ biting down on stuff.

[@nenel0v3s]

@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever milk wasnt satisfying you, were you telling your mom that? Lol

[@Tataito9000oficial]

😍😍Is beautiful how she grabs her food through the whole video and how she chews. Very helpful!!!!

[@glowofgrace]

Aw thank you!

[@tkgirl9420]

+Rachel Weiland how much water is a 6 month allowed to drink daily?

[@3ferki]

Avocado was the first solid my son ate and I agree it was very difficult for him to pick up (very slippery) and extremely messy but he loved it! I don't know what he loved more chasing it around the table, squishing it all over, or the taste but to this day (age 3) it's one of his favorite foods.

[@TheWhiteHouseVlogs]

Oh my goodness she is such a cutie pie!! We introduced solids to our son when he was around 4 1/2 months. We offered them more consistently around 5 months and now at 6 months he eats 3 meals a day, drinks diluted infant juice and breastfeeds. We give him regular foods and purées and he is getting better and better at it everyday. Babies truly are amazing and it’s so cool to see how much they’re actually capable of!

[@dariacorreia987]

I did feel that giving a baby puree is not the way this should be.. if we were in nature there wont be any purees available.. just this choking fear.. but i had the same fear about co-sleeping before my dd was born.. so i guess here it is the same thing thank you so much for the video - very inspiring and informative and your daughter is supercute!

[@MJ-vspeni]

I was lucky to come across BLW with my eldest in 2010 so I have never done traditional weaning. We had a great experiences with BLW with child one and two. We are soon going to be embarking on a new BLW with our third child. I wouldn't do anything else. It's def not for people who are nervous because neither you nor your baby will enjoy the experience. However I urge everyone else to at least try BLW. There is nothing nicer than to have your baby share the family meal from the start.

[@petraanagor8759]

This video really helped me understand blw with my first. He didnt have teeth till he was 14 months but he was eating solids straight out of my plate from 6 months ( with supervision, obviously). He is not a picky eater at all and even likes earthy flavours like beets and broccoli.. here to watch again with my 2nd. Thanks for the refresher course.

[@video4rainydays]

i love how calm and attentive your baby is! so sweet!

[@robdebl2414]

we are expecting baby #5 and I just recently heard of this! I'm really thinking about doing this with this baby. it's very interesting and I can see how it would be very beneficial

[@natalyahatchman2952]

This video was so helpful! I did the whole puree thing with my first it was a nightmare. And now he's 4 and the pickiest eater and I truly believe it was because he felt forced to eat whatever we gave him for so long. We've just stared the baby led weaning with my second and he's loving it! P.s SHE IS SO ADORABLE

[@nhacocara]

so educated, my baby just hit 6 months mark, thank you so much for sharing!

[@brittewater]

This is just what I needed! My baby girl is 5 1/2 months old and definitely ready for food and I didn't want to take the puree routes like I did with her big brother. Thank you for this video, it's a huge help. On another note, what lipstick are you wearing? It's stunning!

[@jennbunny]

I am so happy you made this video! I have never heard of this till you started it with your baby. I have been trying this since my baby turned 6 months and I love it. My baby is 9 months almost 10 now and anytime I see your vlogs whatever you try with Grace I try with my baby. Thank you so much for introducing this to me. Love you & God bless 😙👣

[@glowofgrace]

Jennifer Betancourt That's so awesome!! I'm so glad it's working so well for you! Lots of love and blessings to y'all! xo

[@bmreagan]

Thank you Rachel! I have a 3.5 month old! We watch your vlogs every day! We love you and little Grace! I've been very interested in starting my little one on food through baby led weaning when she's ready so I'm super excited that you made this video! I'll definitely be purchasing the cookbook on Amazon so I can study up before she's ready!

[@Coachsaucy9]

Oh my! I am SO happy I finally came across a video that thoroughly goes through BLW. This literally answered every question I had so Thank you So so much 💕💕

[@brittp5392]

Love this video!! My little guy is 4 months old and we are definitely going to do this! Our daughter is 2 and she refuses to eat pretty much anything and it all started when we completely switched her over from baby food. I made all her baby food but for some reason she loved that more than real food. Our pediatrician said that it is just a phase and we're praying it is. She loves smoothies though so that is the only way we can get veggies in her. :)

[@karenwilliams7432]

Your video was really helpful I’m on my 4th child and I have learned so much with my last baby then with my other 3 kids. So how many months was your baby on this video?

[@Mary-wh6rl]

Rachel this is an excellent video. I don't have any children myself yet but my late Mother done this with my brother and myself and always talked about the benefits of it and always recommend it to me when the time comes. Some may not agreed but its good to put the information out there from someone with experience so people have a clear understanding and allows them to choose which is the best option for them. I think you are a wonderful Mother and doing a great job both parenting and video/vlogging. Keep up the good work. Best Wishes from Ireland xx

[@noneofyourbeezwax7284]

So well said - I’ve already done a lot of research about this and was sold myself, but I was looking for an easy KZbin video about it to show my husband. This summed everything up perfectly! Thank you!

[@ksalinta]

I started out giving my son pureed food, he ate them for about 3 weeks. Until suddenly he began to show no interest in being spoon fed and would much rather eat what I had (fruits and veggies) from my plate. I then googled like any other person would.. and came across Baby Led Weaning. We're in our first week of eating steamed veg and fruits. He loves it! I do have a few questions. Did you get any bad reactions from any friends and family? & how did you deal/respond to it? I feel like I've been getting a lot of weird looks and uneasy feelings from my family and friends because of their concern. Help!

[@haseebayusuf1191]

just wanted to say its not a NEW way, its actually the traditional way before the last few decades!

[@rosemarylawrence1157]

It is also a STEP in the traditional way of transitioning to solids!! Babies will learn to eat and practise of the skills she is talking about eventually. I think as long as parents are consistent they will have success with whatever method they choose!!

[@Chamberlains2Go1]

By the way, you explained this SUPER WELL! very thorough and straight forward :)

[@LH-gz7js]

Love it, thanks for sharing! How long did it take bub from playing food and spitting out to swallowing? My bub is 9 months in a few days and is yet to swallow solids. He dislikes purees. Very interested in food but once purees touches his mouth he turned away and for BLW food he gets frustrated.

[@dawnnromero7289]

Thank you so much for this video! My daughter is 3 months old now and she's my third child (they are all 3 years apart) and I wish I had heard of this with my boys. I read about it before I had her and was really interested and now I am even more so. My boys are great eaters and have never been picky to foods but lately it has become hugely obvious that my youngest son is texturally picky. He has even thrown up on the table a few times, even at restaurants. I've really had a hard time figuring out whether he is just not wanting to eat his veggies or whatever it is or it is actually a texture that bothers him. I am so excited to try this with my baby girl in a few months if she's ready and I'm ready to slow down the nursing lol.

[@Richbosses869]

Wow. You are right a lot of people does not know what the heck is Baby led weaning is! This is such eye opener!😧thanks for sharing!

[@briannabeaver6994]

I am watching this video I am almost in tears! My daughter is SO ready for solid foods and her speech pathologist suggested baby led weaning but she was born with a swallowing disorder and I am TERRIFIED (caps just don't come big enough) to start giving my baby solid foods. Ugh! This is so hard for me and I am prepared and know what to do if she were to choke. Daddy and I are both Paramedics and we also have dealt with my daughter choking since birth (though rare now) but it's so difficult to let her try to let her feed herself. I really appreciate this video though it was informative on led weaning and we shall see if I do this!

[@glowofgrace]

Good luck mama! You know what is best for her and y'all are more than prepared!

[@briannabeaver6994]

Thank you!!!! We tried Avocado and I just let her gum a red pepper. She did good. Thanks so much for this video!

[@louiseideastore1721]

try cucumber with the skin on. the mush mushes and the skin keeps it whole. I hope it worked out for you.

[@LivingLikeLuna]

Love this video! My son will hopefully start to BLW soon & I've been doing tons of research and this video has been by far the most helpful!

[@Moodtoodrude]

How did it go?

[@DaniDanimalz]

Thank you so much for this video. Honestly, it's really the most informative I've been able to find on BLW. You did a very good job covering everything. I use your video to answer questions anytime anybody asks about baby led weaning.

[@angi3a]

My son is 7 months and he's been ready for a while now but I'm just so terrified to give him food because I just always feel like he's gonna choke .. Hes my first so im terrified to try new things 😫

[@cjtayl89]

Me too!

[@MarCeyG]

Same here. She's ready, I'm not. I've taken the baby cpr but I'm still super nervous about it!

[@StarBee93]

Sameee girl😓

[@thenourway]

I was too with my first but I'm on #3 and did BLW with all. It will be okay. If it helps learn the baby himlech so you are ready if needed.... I have a friend who was too scared to be BLW and now her FOUR YEAR OLD son still must be spoon feed. Please try it, you will be happy.

[@lesliesanchez9103]

Same here! My baby girl is about to be 8 months and I'm so terrified 😩

[@TH3FAMOUSx3]

I am single mom. My daughter is 7 months old. Glad I found you😌💜🙏

[@elishabradbury]

I do a bit of both. I give my 8 month old solid foods like bananas, blueberries, potatoes, peas, full meals everything and have some since she was 6 months old. She learnt how to use her mouth and chew food before she needed to so most things were spat out but it works on finger work and the pincers it help massively and now she is an excellent eater and will eat pure and solid food solid more than anything else

[@mommyhudson9720]

There's a lot of people on the fence about this but I wanna say I think it's very important that you should ONLY do what you are comfortable doing with your baby!!! "Every baby is different" it's very important for the parents to make decisions for their own child. Don't think just because you see this baby eating like this that your baby should do the same, that's not to say that your baby is not ready maybe he/she is. But please make your own decisions based on what do you feel would be best for your own child 😊🙏🏻

[@CourtneyBurkeart]

@12:47 when she realizes that a juicy blueberry suddenly appeared on her tray

[@emilyhart1210]

Courtney Burke yess that was as ADORABLE

[@peoplenoodlesoup]

😂 that was so cute!!

[@jennybeYOUty]

Hahhaaha the cutest!!!

[@northernlights27]

RIGHT?! lmao I died that was so cute

[@lissettegutierrez2876]

I was looking for this comment 😂

[@nataliejude3111]

Love this video! So helpful and has set my mind at ease. We started BLW yesterday and I'm now not panicking about the gagging/choking thing. Thank you a mil! Your baby is too cute as well! x

[@Chanlynxo]

Thank you for posting this! :) my daughter is 8 months old (new years eve baby :) and we started her on purees at 6 months, and have transitioned into whole foods in the last week or two. I never researched baby led weaning because I honestly though it just meant weaning the baby off breastmilk when they were ready.. My close friends and family had all started with purees so I didnt even think not doing that was an option. Like you said, there isn't many resources out there about BLW, so I appreciate the info you've passed along here! I'll share with my mommy-to-be friends. Xo Chanlyn, mama to Mckenna Aubrey.

[@RachelRosa]

Thanks for this video! I plan on using BLW with my daughter. I also attempted it with my son, who is now 5, but I was ridiculously confused and ended up doing a mix of puréed foods and soft fruits. I don't regret it, but I needed a refresher on these BLW techniques and tips. I already have the cookbook, and plan on getting into it shortly. My daughter is only 3 months old and is EBF but food will be here before we know it! Thanks again!

[@AmberLynePhotography]

Very informative video! I also love how she just stares at you and the faces she makes while you are talking....she sure loves her momma!!

[@glowofgrace]

Amber Winn Aw thank you! Hahah she's also like "Mama! Why aren't you looking at me?!"

[@DanielaFrancoMusic4]

my baby is 4 and a half months and I noticed a few days ago that when we eat she starts to chew... I thought it was too early but I guess she started to notice food more, maybe I'll have to start the BLW sooner than I thought :) I think nowadays they develope much quicker than babies did years ago, it's amazing!

[@rominaweezy]

I'm sold! My daughter is 4 months old and I'm thinking on starting her on solids at 5 months because she's already starting to stare at us eat and putting everything to her mouth I was going to start her on purées but now I think I might do baby led weaning! Thankssss for the video!

Great video, Rachel. Thanks! My baby boy is 4 months and I'm looking forward to starting baby led weaning when he turns 6 months :)

[@PerkHopper]

My baby girl is 4.5 months now, and is showing a major interest in food...this was very informative, thank you!

[@lindsayq7249]

This is a great video! I watched it before I started blw with my son and now he's 9 months old and is killing it!

[@TravelMamaAnnaVon]

I do this with my daughter. Kudos to you for starting with meat which is one of the hardest to digest even for adults. I never even thought about allergies, I just feed my daughter food. Hard to give veggies though since she only has two teeth. I always recommend starting with fruit since it's the easiest for all humans to digest. I am just entering meat products and it's scary. If you have any suggestions on veggies, please pass them on. Like how to k feed her legumes which are high in iron and protein and great for digestion but look like a handful of choking hazards

[@SaoLasimie]

Love how informative this video is. I've been thinking about doing this and finally feel a lot more comfortable about it.

[@tiffhonda.]

So I'm new to your channel, and since I'm a first time mother I know I'll be watching the heck out of all of your videos lol! Just wanna say that you are gorgeous! You look like a cross between Rachel Bilson and Sophia Bush! And your daughter is just sooo precious

[@zahrapirani6622]

I think mashing food thoroughly to a purée-like consistency is safer than leaving chunks in the food, yet not using a food processor unless it’s a food that can’t be mashed. Mashing it instead of processing is healthier if they can safely eat it, cuz the cellular structures of the foods are not destroyed so the baby can obtain more health benefits from food.

[@joannathrockmorton2179]

1st of all she is soooo cute and soooo funny with her spontaneous 30 second dance parties!! and second of all, this was so helpful and insightful. i was not a subscriber of yours before but i am now. Hubby and i are not expecting as we are still healing from our loss last year. but we plan on starting soon, hopefully later this year. Im excited to be part of you community now na look forward to binge watching this weekend to catch up with current things.

[@reenacx5242]

The way she keeps looking at you whilst eating super cute , my LIttle girl is 5months so doing a lot of research before I start BLW next month found this very helpful can’t wait to start my weaning journey 😊😊😊😊

[@DeutschHannah]

Both you and your baby are absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for the information!!

[@peytonsmommy4520]

Thank you so much for this! My little girl is almost 5 months and I have been thinking about starting her on this. I am going to get that book tomorrow. This video was so helpful!!

[@dannyandbaby8325]

I come from a black southern family, and I grew up being fed "table food" as a first food. My last baby who will 8 months on the 5th will not take baby food, he enjoys what we eat, breast milk and water. I never knew it was a name to this method lol thank you for the information

[@moorelivinwithxbeautyy]

Yes! My mom is forever feeding the babies in our family mashed potatoes and stuff lol.

[@llevitch1]

Your post was so helpful. THANK YOU! The question I do have is.... my son goes to daycare 3 days a week. What would you recommend for them to feed him using BLW or would you recommend just waiting for him to get home and do with us at dinner? Also, do you do BLW just around dinner time or multiple times during the day? My LO is 6 months :)

[@llevitch1]

+llevitch1 oh no sorry- I realized you answered it in your video. You're awesome, thanks!... but I am wondering what your recommendation is for when he is older and eating 3 meals per day with the whole daycare stuff :)

[@brizzeidaayala705]

Watching this video has made me feel a lot more comfortable moving forward in this new phase with my baby, I tried giving him chicken, sweet potato, and a few other things but he would gag that I was reluctant to keep doing it.

[@withramya]

Lovely video! So helpful, both of you! We just started this process (although my baby is 9 months old and just starting solids). Thank you!

[@humysagazanfar7942]

i have no idea how to feed baby my baby is 8 month

[@Alexandrialyn]

Love your video. Wanted to let you know I've read that if they have trouble picking up the food because it's slippery (avocado) they say you can mash up cherios or wheat germ and coat them with that so they can pick it up. My son just turned 8 months and I started him on puréed and have been trying to do finger foods the past few weeks however he has absolutely no interest in picking up food and putting it in his mouth. It's been a little stressful for me cause I don't know when he will be ready. But all I can do is let him take the lead for when he is ready. I do make all of his baby food homemade which he loves.

[@cloudyxluvss]

Thank you so much for this video. I really wish there was more out there. My twins are just 7 months & one is amazing the other gets really frustrated at feedings (his motors skills aren't as great as hers). We've been doing it since about the 6 month mark but I haven't been very consistent cause of the mess x's 2 plus I have a an almost 6 year old set of twins as well. This really motivates me to get back on track & to depend more on the cookbook for ideas etc.

[@jerzpyt]

Wow... This video was so informative and so well put! Grace is such a beautiful child! Many continued blessings!

[@debrakazemi]

Thanks for the video! I love watching your blog and go to it first when I have something new I want to explore or my little one is about to graduate to a new month. So thanks! Quick questions: when did you introduce yogurts. I hear from others not to introduce it till one year.

[@chelseysisson6134]

My daughter is 6 and a half months old and we have been trying puréed food for about a week now and she seems absolutely disgusted with everything we give her. A couple friends just told me about BLW today. She is our first child and i had never heard of this. This video was great and answered a lot of the questions I had, so thank you. How old is Grace in this video?

[@katiegonzales5633]

8 Years later, I'm back to watch your videos 😊

[@karenwilliams7432]

Also, Grace is so cute and the cat in the background was hilarious popping up here and there!

[@serenasuarez5708]

Thank you soooo much !!!! Been super nervous... my daughter is 6 months in a couple weeks and is so ready !!

[@nataliedelavega4187]

Thanks for all the info! I don't think this is for me and my little guy but I'm really glad you put this information out there ! and to know I have another option to explore with baby #3!

[@madison.shaver]

Gracie's like mom who you talkin to?! Haha ☺️

[@jessg6492]

Gracie is so cute. Love your parenting style, and not surprising, she is adorable!

[@goblincoe4064]

So glad I found your channel through this video! Very helpful and can't wait to enjoy seeing more of your videos!

[@whocaresaboutmyusername22]

Found a tip today for slippery foods: coat them in cereal or parmesan to help the baby grip the food better.

[@missme5683]

Thanks I'm gonna try this

[@_est.1992_]

First video and very informative, thank you for that!! Quick question, at what age did you introduce the squeezing pouches?

[@juliecorrand]

Hi Rachel. Great video but excuse one silly question... How can baby chew with no teeth? Or should one wait until baby has teeth? I understand foods like avocado tend to melt in your mouth but what about chicken? Thanks

[@Gymnast82794]

Julie Schaden their gums are very. Very. Hard and sharp.

[@rachelskousen1927]

Said like a nursing mother!

[@jillianlewis8425]

With their gums

[@reyennecass9014]

I have found this video so informative. It's way too late for me to do BLW because she is almost 9 mos old and she's been eating purees since 3 mos old. But she's started grabbing food off of our plates and feeding herself solid foods and Ive just been stuck wondering what options I have to offer her to feed herself. So thank you so much for posting this is great! ☺️

[@carrielbuckley]

Thank you for the video! A lot of very helpful information. I'm expecting a baby girl in November, & we knew pretty early on we wanted to try BLW when the time comes, but we also found the lack of resources to be a little frustrating. We'll definitely check out the books you recommended. :) - Carrie

[@mirnazelaya430]

Pregnant with baby no. 2... Clearly this is the road I will take. It was such a battle feeding my first born child. It would be so stressful. And now she is a picky eater. So thank you very much for explaining everything.

[@glowofgrace]

Mirna Zelaya Congrats on #2!! You're so welcome and I hope it helps!

[@HuwPewPew]

How old was your daughter in this video please? I only ask for a comparison since I've started by son on baby led weaning recently.

[@amandalyndsey7481]

I was watching this while I was cooking dinner, and my 10 yr old son came into the kitchen and said, "there's chickie!" :) he must here me watch most days! He also thinks your dad is funny! This was a super helpful video! Thanks!

[@glowofgrace]

Amanda Lyndsey Hahah that's soo awesome! So funny I was telling dad today on the vlog how everyone loves him!

[@annettarkun6345]

Thanks for sharing! Starting my son on BLW in a couple of weeks. Your daughter is gorgeous! The bottle you are giving her is this formula or pumped milk?

[@rayellejohnson9961]

12:47 is the cutest. She gets all excited like Ah food!

[@MsJulianaMarie]

Great video. My 7.5 month old has been eating since about 5 months. But I chose to start with pureeing her food. Now, she's becoming more independent and wants to feed herself. Of course, I'm nervous to give her chunks of food and choking. Will she still instinctively know what to do with solid food if she's used to purées? I have given her pieces of pancake, cheese, today we did peas and she loved them! But got a little nutty and shoved too many in her mouth and started gagging. I noticed you were giving your daughter blueberries one at a time, which I'll likely have to do as well. The thought of giving her a chunk of meat freaks me out.

[@CCMay_22]

I love this technique because I breastfeed and was overwhelmed with all the gadgets and information on purees. Now I can wait until she's ready and still breast feed. Also no having to introduce veggies first. Breastfed babies already have sophisticated palettes! 👍🏻👶🏻😋

[@dianawilliams4161]

Cecilia Malagon breastfeeding is amazing. We love it!

[@jillianlewis8425]

Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever I don’t see any spelling errors! 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@jillianlewis8425]

Cecilia Malagon our youngest is allergic to milk and simply bc he’s no longer breastfed, means nothing about a sophisticated palette! He loves all his purées and bigger pieces of food that we give him. They develop more and more with each new food offering, but I do agree they have more of a taste for different foods due to what the mother eats. Fed is fed, either way my children weren’t defined just Bc they were bottle fed verse breastfed. Some people just can’t or like 2 out of 3 of mine were allergic...formula feeding doesn’t make anyone a bad parent!

[@Jidionsolos]

This is so great! So informative. My son is 3 now but if I ever have another, I'd love to give this a shot. Truly amazing. Oh and I just love the way G watches you while shoveling her food in :)

[@glowofgrace]

Helen Adami Thanks so much Helen! Hahah she's such a shoveler! It's crazy!

[@laynahurley4101]

So few questions. It's been a little bit since I've watched the video, but you said you started off with one meal a day (dinner?) correct? When did you decide to do multiple meals and why? (Sorry if it's in the video). My little one goes to the sitters during the day so I'd prefer to just do this at home until she's been doing it for a little bit, and is doing well at it. And how would you explain it to the sitter or the grandparents who are used to baby food and are worried about choking, etc? I know I'm the mom and can whatever I please...I was just curious. Thanks :)

[@mollya.4791]

This was so helpful! I'm glad you made this video, I am due in a few days with my first baby and can't wait to do this with my little boy!

[@traceylomas80]

thank you for the video my baby is nearly 6 months and i wanted to do baby led weaning with her but i have been very scared of tge choking but this has put my mind at rest my twins i spoon fed and now there 2 and half and still messy eaters so im very excited because i was informed baby led weaning helps with this. 😊

[@claudmacha]

Very informative! My little one is 5 months, he is my second and really thinking of going this route. Question, when do u introduce purees/baby food? or do u just skip it?

[@fromlovetobabycarriage1193]

+Claudia M we did BLW weaning too and you just skip purees. No need for the extra work!

[@claudmacha]

+From Love to Baby Carriage Thanks! By chance did u talk to your pediatrician about it? just curious how they feel about baby led weaning.

[@robygold357]

Great video! Very informative! What size do you cut the food and things? Can they be given cheerios?

[@makimc7458]

Very interesting! I am from Colombia and babies start eating some solids at 3 months. I was fortunate that my kids pediatrician here in Atlanta, respect and actually support my traditions and diet with my 3 kids. They never eat baby food everything was made fresh and not preservatives.

[@fionaguooo]

Awesome video. Thank you super helpful!

[@oakisland432]

I'm sure the babies weren't given solid foods right off the bat even in the Stone Age. People even used to chew the food for the child and then feed them that chewed food, so don't think children were not treated as adults with no special prep.

[@cindyhoffman5547]

Feeding time with a spoon was great bonding time. Purees and rice cereal for the first 6 weeks of eating is not bad.

[@deborahrussell9826]

Thank you for making this. Your video helped me to realize that what we’re doing is just perfect and she’s progressing and learning every day!

[@laurenmb83]

How old is she now? My third kiddo is 5 months old and I'm definitely interested in trying this method instead of purées. Might wait a little longer but excited to try it out.

[@glowofgrace]

laurenmb83 She is 8m now! Definitely wait until both you and baby are ready :) It's a fun experience though!

Please make more videos on baby lead weaning! My son will be 7 months in a few days and I’ve only given him puréed but want to start him on solids. Please and thank you! 😊

Hi Rachel your videos are helpful thank you but what i want to ask you is i am a breastfeeding mom and my baby just started taking solid this month , she is 5 month, Do you think i could mix her cereal with formula because pumped milk is kind of too much for me? peace!
