[@annemary86]

Thanks. My baby is already one. At what point can I give her crunchy foods like raw apples? Also which foods have choking risks at this age? I stay away from whole nuts, sausages and hard cheese

[@redpanda_ann]

Where do you get buckwheat cereal?

[@de33iene]

1. Avocado 2. Banana 3. Sweet Potato 4. Chicken 5. Yogurt 6. Apple 7. Cauliflower 8. Buckwheat 9. Beef 10. Egg

[@rachaelkealy]

Important!: Apple should not be raw :)

[@IvoryRajkumari]

Thank you!

[@rubydagook2785]

[@lyly-rosechoquette2529]

Should do the allergenic ones on the week days so that the clinic and peditrician can be contacted more easily if there's some symptoms, also the hospital emercengy are emptier and ambulance less occupied on week days if anything happens that need emergency transportation.

[@babyledweaning]

This is definitely something to consider if you know there are some limitations in your area, thanks so much for sharing! 💕

[@LetsGoLaNita]

I thought the same thing

[@nazrinsadiqova1878]

This comment should climb to the top of the section. So important to consider!

[@swttuth0329]

Great tip!

[@CaoCaoz93]

Thanks to your 100 foods list my toddler eats just about anything I serve him. We loved trying new foods each week for about 6 months and he tried 100 new foods before 1. Today he’s 21 months old and still likes to try new things 😁🧒🏼 Thank you 🤩

[@babyledweaning]

This is so wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for sharing 😊

[@carriemai6681]

if your LO doesnt like a new food, how many times do you keep trying before moving onto the next?

[@nicoledescartes5619]

Where can I find the 100 food list

[@mws6267]

But avocado and banana are so slippery to hold

[@Aamilahpeso]

@@nicoledescartes5619 the food list is not free when I went to the website to sign up for her podcast/training to get the list they wanted to charge me $247

[@acandkayshow1234]

I can cry, I needed this. Our son will be 9 months tomorrow and has been eating strictly purées and formula. I keep thinking like “okay the doctor said by 12 months he’s done with formula” I’ve been nervous about introducing food for him to hold, just being nervous about choking. But I love the idea of letting him try a new food everyday. Then start putting meals together. This is exactly the motivation and inspiration I needed. 🫶🏾

[@babyledweaning]

You got this! I teach a 5 Step Feeding Framework where we do 5 new foods each week. It's safe and will help your baby get to most of their nutrition coming from food by 12m. I teach a free online video workshop with more info on what it looks like called BABY-LED WEANING FOR BEGINNERS and the sign up link is at babyledweaning.co/workshop - hang in there, it will happen for you and your baby!! -Katie

[@Kesk23]

Omg me too ive always loved the idea of my baby eating the food we are but omg ive been stressinggg for days i really dont know where to start with my almost 6 months old baby i dont want to be stuck on purees for ages, but then again i really don’t want her to choke, honestly the most stressful part of having a baby.

[@Clarabellyha]

She makes BLW look and sound so much easier! Thank you for this video!!

[@yeziagabi7964]

😂😂

[@TheEMC99]

I never would have thought of avocado but thanks to my SIL I began feeding it to all of our babies. Ages 7 down to 3. They all loved it and it's a very popular food in our home today. Super healthy? Very satiating. Inexpensive. We just had our 5th baby. She has 2 months to go before 1st foods and I'm excited to introduce her to this method. It's much easier than the method I learned years ago.

[@jadeantoun1208]

Thank you so much! This video is immensely helpful

[@isabellest-laurent9549]

I did blw with my now 4 year old and I just found you, now that I'm getting ready to feed my almost 6 month old. Boy do I wish I saw your videos 4 years ago 😅 this will be easier this time!

[@babyledweaning]

I’m so glad you’re doing baby-led weaning this time around!!

[@esthergraham1353]

My grandson is turning 1 next week. He is already allergic to eggs and avocado. Thanks for all your videos on feeding babies. We are learning a lot.

[@Shewhomustnotbenamed8]

How do you poach the apple? I’m not familiar with this process.

[@babyledweaning]

Peel and core and slice and boil for 5-10m in a little bit of water til softened 💕

[@saramartin3322]

I've been so afraid to start giving my baby foods, and had no idea where to start. Every time I thought of a food I asked myself how the heck I was supposed to make that safe for the baby. I feel like you just helped me a huge amount to get started. Ty!

[@babyledweaning]

Thanks so much for your kind words! It can feel intimidating at first, but you've got it 💕

[@sahraa8499]

Thanks for this video I learned something since I am having twins now it's very helpful. Thank you again.

[@vicvic180]

We start with meats (typically lamb first, then beef) and dark leafy vegetables, then move onto allergens and fats like avocado, with common fruits like bananas being the last thing we introduce. Baby's first foods at 6 months should be iron rich.

[@tamar2450]

This makes sense!

Thank you, Katie! This was very helpful.

[@jasminetorres4444]

My baby is 8 months and I am still so nervous to give her anything that is not purées 😢 I get so scared of the thought of her chocking

[@natashasisic8422]

I have same issue 😢 today I gave her sweet potato for first time, and I swear every time she started gagging I am panicking and getting heart attack , Its so scary

[@babyledweaning]

I totally understand the nervousness when you're starting out. It's important to note that as long as foods are prepared safely in a safe feeding environment, the risk of choking with BLW is no greater than the risk with purees. You can also trial out letting your baby feed herself with the spoon and purees to get in some self-feeding practice! I offer a free 1 hour video training at babyledweaning.co (or there are a bunch more videos on my page 😊) to help build your confidence.

[@MrsAngloOrtho]

Gagging is normal and is not choking! I know it's dramatic but they will do that a lot when they are learning how to swallow solids.

[@debasmitadaschowdhury9175]

Don't worry dear...i started finger food from day 1 of weaning... Yes, my baby was gagging, but i was sitting beside him to manage if anything wrong happens and he is 9 months plus now... He is being fed by babysitter as I'm working mom... But skipped the pureed form all together

[@janavilla6687]

You’re not alone, I’m the same by baby is about to turn 7 months and she’s been eating purées for about a month and a half! I’m also scared but I see my baby’s interest in the food I’m eating, so I think I have to try! Good luck to you!

[@daniellefricke2140]

How would you recommend storage and taking to daycare?

[@rawkiedogg]

I didn't catch it in the video, what size do I cut the food into?

[@swttuth0329]

I tried the pinkly size strips of avocado at 6 months and my baby choked. It was such a scary experience. I don’t think I can try the strips until she is a little older.

[@Moving_Forward247]

Thank you and God bless you!

[@andreaperch5872]

This list is amazing! And I love the idea of doing allergens on Fridays and the weekends. Not sure how new it is but I’ve read new allergen guidelines and heard from a pediatric allergist that they should be introduced in purées only to ensure they digest the food and not just play with it. Apparently skin contact without digestion can cause your body to believe it’s not safe to eat and then an allergy develops. To be safe we’ve been doing purées but so focused on allergens I’m overwhelmed planning other foods for baby. So this is fantastic!! Can’t wait to check out the course!

[@33ttpat10]

What did you season the cauliflower with?

Go for it with any seasonings you eat - just avoid added sugar, excess salt or anything super spicy that could injure your baby!

Hello. My baby is already 2 years old but still he refuse to eat or he don’t want to try the food. what will I do? Thanks

Hello, when I clicked on the link to get the 100 food list, there is a banner blocked it and not able to remove it. Anyone knows how to remove it?

[@amcg6487]

Can someone just clarify for me please - do you just start one random day (when they’re ready) and give the baby a piece of avocado for e.g, with the baby never having had anything in their mouth other than milk before this? Or do you start with some purées before? I’m really confused and just want a straight up plan telling me what to do! 🙈 if it’s just straight in with solids, then this video is super helpful!

[@Sarah1990loveshg]

There are 3 acceptable methods (check out Emma Hubbard) 1) starting with purees, 2) giving pieces of food like this, so the baby can pick it up & eat themselves, 3) a combo of the 2.

[@dmalikat]

FTM here, I’m getting a little lost on lingo. I have a 4+ month old and doc said introduce foods. She’s been on BM so is this for her. I keep reading first solid foods and then I see cereals and purées. Is this BLW a practice for her? Or should I start with something else?

[@hanan763]

Ok so my LO is 7 months and isn’t interested in BLW…she will grab anything I put in front of her but when it’s feeding time she just stares at the food. I then will give it to her myself and once she’s tasted it she is not a fan of the texture. I’m tempted to just do the purée but I don’t want to complicate things and have her struggle when it’s time to switch into BLW. I was thinking to just give her purée snd see if the issue is the food or texture but not sure.

[@The-Sentinel]

what seasoning can you use for babies if you cant use salt? most combined seasonings have salt in them so im guessing spices only?

[@minivlogbymano9822]

How much water is given to six month baby

I have been giving my 5 month old banana and avocado puree every day for a couple of days but I have noticed she has been constipated for last 2 days so i just stopped it. I am also giving her Gerber rice/ oat cereal sometimes. Not sure if i am giving right quantity or if it was too much for her. She is throwing up a little milk since yesterday.

[@jasonhiller8541]

Thank you for this! I still don’t entirely understand how a toothless infant eats some of those spears! And maybe could you do a video (gonna search for one now) that shows a normal gag response. Many thanks!

[@jessarnold67]

Gums are really strong! You'll be surprised how much baby can eat with no teeth. My son was 10 months before any teeth and was already a pro at lots of finger foods by then.

[@jasonhiller8541]

So our baby is now 19 months and he is a champion eater! It was really hard for me getting through those gagging periods, and not just watching him but trying to stick with it with grandparents around was really challenging! But I’m so glad we did. :)

[@cassidymiller5477]

I though meat wasn't good to give unless it's already shredded and mashed? Isn't it hard on there stomach when there swallowing it without being chewed good?

Absolute nonsense. Human stomach acid is pH 1.5. Similar to vultures and obligate carnivores. Animal protein will be broke. Down and completely absorbed. We started our girl on ribeye steak and bone marrow at 5 months old. She’s WAY more developed than any other babies in our social circle and play groups.

[@maricruzrosas6990]

Hello! When can you start BLW? My baby is already 7 months and has been introduced to purée vegetables and fruits but only prefers the vegetables. My other question is if my babies teeth is starting to come out and 99% gums is BLW still okay to attempt? Thank you for the video :)

[@lisanathaliem]

Hey, I introduced BLW when my son was 5 months old, but he only started to get really interested at 7 months. Now at 8 months he is fully ready. So I think you can always try and see whatever works and what your child is comfortable with or maybe try BLW but always have a puree on the side just in case.

6 months and up as long as they are showing signs of readiness for BLW. Definitely make sure they are first before doing so.

[@piyarpiyar1552]

I think when we introduce solid food to a baby, it should be in the form of puree, not in stripes

[@mikkibihon9816]

Pardon the ignorance but won't the baby choke? I have a 5 month old and was given the go signal to start solids and I want to try blw

[@phoebewilson6739]

Nope, Its just as likely that a spoon fed baby will choke as blw baby. What a baby will do is gag which is totally normal and healthy for babies to do and Katie has plenty of videos on what gagging looks like and what you should (or shouldn't) do when it happens.

my husband and I keep the skin on most of your feed, is there a way to safely serve baby with the skin on?

[@babyledweaning]

I recommend removing most skins unless it's very soft for babies. But I would recommend washing produce being cutting it even if you aren't serving the skin to prevent any potentially harmful bacteria from transferring to the flesh of the produce when you cut through it 😊

You can skip purees if you'd like. I teach a "Purees for a Few Days" method to bridge from infant milk to soft solids - you can learn more in my free online video workshop BABY-LED WEANING FOR BEGINNERS & sign up is at babyledweaning.co

[@aliya-ez6wi]

Perfect video to help us understand better…thank u My baby just completed 5 months ..but she is not sitting yet..so does this mean I need to wait for her to sit to start BLW?

[@babyledweaning]

Thank you for watching! I would recommend waiting until your baby is at least 6 months + able to sit relatively unassisted because those muscles are also necessary to facilitate a safe swallow 😊

[@MS-yu5cl]

My now 5 month old got the pediatrician ok to start solids. She tested her neck/head strength and baby passed. Baby is also very interested in people food so we have started baby cereals and a bit of avacado but I am taking it real slow. She smashes the avocado up and tries to taste it.

What can substitute meat and egg with being a vegetarian with a no egg diet?

[@villhelm]

Stop being a vegetarian. You’re starving your child of Carnitine, creatine, omega 3, DHA/EPA, fat soluble vitamins, b12, Heme Iron, zinc, proline, glycine and bioavailable protein. Give your baby bone marrow and ribeye steak.
