I need meal ideas!! Maybe three separate videos “one week of breakfasts, one week of lunches, one week of dinners” so we can get a couple different ideas? 🥰

[@anncathrin4727]

Agree!

[@fernandasoares576]

Yesssss

[@jessicagonzalez4001]

Yesssss!! I struggle everyday with this

[@walquirp13]

Yes please!

[@CeceLiciousBooks]

I don't have a baby, I'm not pregnant and I don't think it will happen for at least 10 more years. But here I am watching a half an hour video about how to feed a baby 😂

[@Missmissie5683]

was just about to type the same exact thing 😂

[@ImGeneralJAckson]

I've been doing baby-led weeding now for a month and a half in this video still was really helpful! Thanks. One thing that makes baby led weaning way easier is having a dog. Instant floor clean up

[@mikat2782]

Started BLW cause we saw you doing it with Arrow, and we love it! It’s a lot of fun sitting at the table together and enjoying our food together

[@jessicamansfield6660]

My babe will be 6m next week! We’re about to start BLW, I needed this lol

[@redj936]

How did it go?

[@jessicamansfield6660]

@@redj936 it went great! Glad I did it. I’d definitely recommend a infant cpr & choking class. I went into without that & I was constantly worried my daughter was gonna choke.

[@AngelicaSolis94]

Yaaaaay new video! My son is going to be 6 months old in one week. I’ve already started him on purées but I’m going to do BLW. And your videos are so helpful ♥️ God bless you and beautiful little Arrow 🙏🏼🤍

[@RG-nb3dz]

I cry every time I watch your videos. I can't imagine how resilient and loving you must be. You are my inspiration as a FTM. Every time I feel mad and overwhelmed with my baby, I just think about you and Arrow and all my anger is immediately replaced with love. Thank you so much Brittany

[@lizg6084]

Yes! I couldn’t agree more.

[@zabeenmadarun918]

Thank you for this much awaited video!! YES to more BLW videos, tips, meal ideas and all please!!

[@Rowm222]

YAS GURL! Bless your sweet soul! 🌼 My bb girl is 6 mnths I NEEDED THIS VID 😍 THANK U! You’ve been so helpful in this mom journey! U ARE GLOWING IN A BEAUTIFUL NEW WAY BTW! 💖

[@danamm1674]

Love this! My daughter (6mo) had a reaction to peanuts recently and the doctor recommended liquid Reactine rather than Benedryl because of the side effects (sleepiness can look like lethargy) - just an extra option in case of emergency!

[@Sammyroxy]

So happy you posted this! My son turns 6 months in a couple weeks and will start baby led weaning but needed some ideas and tips first :)

[@RelaxingMusic-xn9qu]

Love your videos. So helpful. I’ve been following you over a year now. So proud of you and happy to see these amazing videos

[@IvyFuld]

Loved this! Such a great breakdown and loved the myths/truths segment ❤️

[@maggiefuchsbrugger1917]

Loved this. You inspired us to do BLW, we're 3 weeks into it with my 6 mo old and we looooooove it! Solid Starts just launched an app and we really like it - I'd love to see you partnered with them, we get a lot out of your content and theirs.

[@iyanac]

Early in the morning with a new one!!! Gotta love the consistency

[@brittanybalyn]

[@emilywisby1975]

I’ve been waiting for this video! Thank you for posting!

[@gvlclaire8745]

I just love your channel, videos, advices, everything is just so interesting ❤️ such a cool mom

[@michellemanuela]

You inspired me a while ago when you introduced BLW. I needed this video! Thank you so much! You are inspiring!🙏🏼

[@ninam9303]

I love your videos! I have a 7 month old and we are doing a combo of baby led and traditional weaning. We have the what mummy makes recipe book, you cook one thing for the whole family from 6 months up! It's so good!

[@esteph154]

You go girl!!! This was great!! ❤️❤️

[@stephanymiranda2361]

You’re Awesome! Baby will be 6 months the first week next month so I love you for this! I’m so excited

[@kennedymeow]

You’re such an amazing mom, Brittany! I hope you’re proud of yourself! ❤️

[@raewynne7870]

Thank you for the myths facts part. I started my son on purees at 5 months because he is so interested in food and I felt bad eating in front of him. He LOVES IT. he's so much more satisfied right now. I hand make all my purees as simple as possible. When he's 6 months we are starting blw and ill supplement purees IF he needs it. It drives me nuts when people say "you can't do.... if you do...." we have to do what works for us! Thank you for advocating for doing what works for you and your baby!!!! ❤❤❤

[@susannej5733]

She is getting such good nutrition and learning so much! You're such a good mama! I'm due w my 1st next month, am interested in BLW, & would love to see a follow up video!

[@nourhudaf.3207]

My baby turned 6 months in May and we've been doing BLW for a little over a month now and we're absolutely loving it. I actually first heard of it through you and was excited to try it. My mom always watches videos of baby eating and is like "ah the mess. You got so much cleaning up to do" and I honestly don't mind it. I dare say I love the mess. I enjoy it as much as my baby does and as long as he's having fun, that's what's important to me. So far he's loved all foods and meals I've given him and always make sure seasoning is on point (minus the salt). So happy you made this video, I always follow your stories to get meal inspo!

[@Lucy-jy2qn]

My baby is 2 months and I can’t wait to start BLW when she’s old enough! Your videos with Arrow make me so excited for it! 💜

[@jacquelineboswell2290]

Love this! I would love a video about cutting and preparing food for baby led weaning. Arrow is a lucky little lady to have such a good mom that is so passionate!

[@sarahhanson4183]

The solid starts app has pictures of how to cut/prepare food based on age! It’s really helpful.

[@jacquelineboswell2290]

@@sarahhanson4183 I actually have a few books for this but love watching videos about it.

[@louiseashley11]

This couldn’t have come at a better time for me! Baby is 5 mos now and I’ve been trying to do research on this for next month! 😬 thank you!!

[@virginie3783]

Really really good video ! A second video would be great 👌🏻 Can't wait to try that in a few months. Thanks 💚

[@tamaraherman940]

Perfect timing 💜 FTM and we start BLW next month!

[@ro143cky]

Baby is on the way, and I can’t wait to start this! Also your meals make me so hungry 🤣🤣 Thanks for the info 🤍🤍

[@allieking2086]

i’ve literally been researching BLW lately because we’re a month and a half until baby is 6months and we can start! it’s so exciting but also kinda nerve-wracking! thank you for this!

[@asifakhanam4309]

I'm watching your videos since I was 7month preggo..now my baby is just starting on solid, this video is going to be so helpfull for me.thank you very much for sharing 😍.. lots of love to you and to arrow❤️❤️

[@lindseylogan7989]

Loved how you talked about not adding your opinion on if the food is tasty or not but instead using describing words about the colors and textures!

[@thewitchour]

you posted this at the perfect time! my 5 month old is about to start blw (doctor advised/gave the ok) & im so nervouss 😭

[@dangkimb]

can’t wait to watch it when captions are up!

[@yanak7159]

We did the 100 first foods on BLW and reached our goal right in time for our daughters 1st bday. And you’re totally right, for someone it might be overwhelming and for me because I’m a planner, I loved having a plan. When there are so many options, I feel lost, overwhelmed and I give up. We’ve been loving our journey and it’s so easy to feed her now, so many foods to choose from. And by offering so many foods by 1 years old, they are more likely to not be picky eaters (which we have learned it the hard way from our first kiddo, who is now super picky and it’s a struggle to this day.). I wish I knew about BLW back then.

[@alyssarh]

I love this video, thank you so much for sharing all this info and your thoughts! ❤

[@TheMoranFamily]

This video was so helpful. Also can we talk about the editing?! 🙌🏼 Another great video 💛

[@brittanyevangarza7735]

Thanks for all your amazing videos!! Please do the basic video that you discussed 😫🙌🏻

[@Lizquiz7]

I'm so thrilled you made this video!! My daughter will be starting BLW next month!! You are the best.

[@lizg6084]

Yay! It’s so much fun. You will both love it!

[@swatdomm2511]

This couldn’t have come at a more apt time, Brittany! I have a almost 7 month old and I am so confused what to feed him. You’re truly a savior! ♥️

[@arrwene98]

My baby will be 6 months in 2 weeks and I plan on doing a little bit of both purees and BLW ! Thank you for this video, what a great timing 😍

[@tiajuliano]

I never comment on videos, but this is such a great video jammed pack with all the info anyone would need! We’ve been doing BLW for about 7 months now and I agree with everything you said!

Yay!! 🎉💞

[@prernapnegi]

Much much needed video. My daughter is 7 months old now! Thank you ❤️

[@BrianaArnao]

This video was so helpful! I just started doing BLW when my son turned 6 months and it’s been so fun.

[@thedailyprophecy1]

I already know this is not going to be the method for us, but this was so informative and interesting! I definitely got a few tips from it that I can use for our chosen method once she is here 🥰

[@AlissaLinnae]

I’ve been waiting for this one!!

[@whitney3258]

We love blw! My daughter is 9 months & it's been such a great experience. I LOVE watching her eat, it's honestly some of my favorite parts of the day. Yes, it's really messy. My baby eats in a diaper & bib 95% of the time lol. Also be prepared for it to make other ppl uncomfortable/nervous. It doesn't bother me but I can understand how it could be discouraging for others, especially first time parents. Also prepping is great way to not feel overwhelmed. I steam veggies on say Sunday & then she can eat those for next cpl of days. Frozen & can veggies are totally OK! They are just as healthy for baby! Oh & I have a pull out sprayer on my kitchen sink & it's amazing for clean up lol. She loves it & my son calls it the baby car wash!

[@Miimiii___]

Can you make a whole video on your experience with the the dairy allergy? My daughter has MSPA and I would love to hear your insight.

[@angelasalveta972]

Brittany I completely agree with you on the tuna fish, it is the number one “food” I will never eat. I always watch your videos through my TV app so I can’t usually comment but had to jump on my phone to soul sister with you on the tuna hate. I Watch you every week and love your content. I discovered you while I was pregnant and now my son is 6 months old. Thank you for keeping it real but also keeping it fun. 💜

[@angelh7238]

don’t have a baby yet or even pregnant but I absolutely love your baby vids, especially this! I’ve looked into blw for when I do have a baby and this video is so helpful. you’re amazing 🤍

It works!! 😘 💞

[@elizabethsoto7568]

I started BLW because of you! I started seeing all your insta stories and seeing arrow so I gave it a try and I love it and never went back ! I started purees at 4 and a half months and started BLW at 6

Yes please make a second video of recipes!!!

[@olivia_ismyname]

My daughter is just about to be 9 months & is finally eating actual food! She just wasn’t interested, she only wanted purées so I did the pouch ones so she could still feed herself! I love your videos btw!! You’re goals 100%

[@cameronrickard8348]

Please make second video!!! It's so overwhelming. If you guys had any trouble shooting issues you should include that! I have a six month old who is hesitant to pick things up unless I preload a spoon and give it to him!

[@lisalopes1040]

I personally do purees and baby led weaning with my son. I don’t always have time to make him a meal and so I’ll just give him purées. I notice he likes the combo rather than just one or other for extended periods of time.

[@dinavillani6542]

I love watching your videos. You are a great mom .

[@selenabelloso3757]

Thank you so much for this informative video. My daughters 8 months now and I feel like I still get overwhelmed bc Idn what to feed her bc I don’t eat great... so I go out my way to buy and prep her “healthy food”. Make the other video please

[@gingerglitter4ever]

This was so informative! I'd love to see more videos around this topic and I feel like at some point you mention a teether or a toy she was using as a way to practice bringing objects to her mouth? Am i imagining that? Anyway it would be super interesting to hear if you have any recommendations that "support" the baby led weaning journey from the child's side :)

[@lehhxxis]

It gives me the BIGGEST anxiety. My daughter is 8 months old today, banana has been a hit so far, but everything makes me soooo nervous. Especially strawberries. This was definitely helpful though, I’ve been googling and watching KZbin videos all day. My baby was late with some of her milestones so I’m just now feeling comfortable to do it.

[@hannahtucker94]

Omg yassss my girl turned 5 months on Friday and we started purées because I was so scared of BLW so this is perfect timing

[@brittanybalyn]

[@LoveAtHome]

I am sooo waiting for this! My baby is almost 8 months and been feeding her thru blw for almost 2 months and I'm running out of ideas

[@Bananachan289]

Your passion for motherhood is so inspiring! Sometimes I forget that it’s okay to be obsessed with my baby things ❤️ My first bb did not agree with BLW, somehow he kept shoving things into the very bag of his throat 😂 I’m doing a mix for my second baby now. I give him a few finger foods with something mashed up for him

[@TeenBae]

i wish i could, but my little girl has ONH and can't see well. This would be such a great idea though!!! Thank youuuuu once again for always giving great ideas!
