My Baby Weaning Essentials!

[@karenbaker1979]

I don’t have kids, but still found this really interesting. I also find your baby videos really useful for getting recommendations for gifts to give to friends for their babies.

[@niamh866]

I’ve been following you for 10 years(ish) and my little girl is 4 months. This video is right on time for us! No parenting judgement here, we’re all just doing our best 😅

[@ericavigilante1519]

Same here! I’ve been following her for such a long time and now I have a baby (mine turns 1 in a month 🤯 ) it’s so good seeing this content, it is like we are all growing together ❤😊

[@katecart8790]

I’m a Gramma now but still like this video. Things have changed so much in 30 years. My daughter does weaning much the same as you. Sorry to hear that people are so critical. Please keep making the occasional KZbin post. You have always been my favorite KZbinr.

[@jesschick]

I absolutely adore that you are still posting videos! I watched you probably about ten years ago and have found my way back to your channel, me now 30 years of age and pregnant with my first child! Such a comfort and joy to watch your videos ❤

[@happytx1860]

I have no children, but I enjoy your videos. I love hearing about about your family. Thanks

[@naomifenton2159]

Lovely to see you make your own food it’s just what I used to do for all the babies I looked after I was a nanny in London for over 20 years ❤️

[@brendawalsh5315]

Fleur i really hoped you were going to share your favourite weaning recipes! I love the weaning process too.. do share the books you like and the recipes! Thanks!

[@icsk8grrl]

I‘ve been excited for this, I really appreciate hearing individual experiences since every baby is so different. It’s so scary asking for opinions because people are so extreme in their feelings when it comes to babies.

I’m currently 25 weeks pregnant with my third baby it’s been 5 years since I last had a newborn so this was really helpful , thanks fleur❤ xx

[@lizfawcett2525]

Thanks Fleur. This was a nice refresher for me, as my 2nd baby is nearly 3 months (so not weaning yet) but this is helping me prepare in my head!

[@ChloePiddington]

Ahh I needed this video! Thank you for sharing - My little guy is 5 months and it is so overwhelming knowing where to begin. This is so helpful! xo

[@natashapeddle2810]

Bibado cover all bibs are my favourite. The silicon bibs I am just trying out now with my 2nd baby and so far I like them too. This time round I'm definitely more relaxed with weaning 😊

[@Katherine.11.11]

We did baby-led weaning which was brilliant. We enjoyed the process and had a fun and relaxed approach.

[@tovapickle]

We're in the throes of weaning our 7 month old, doing a mixture of purees and baby-led weaning with virtually no foods being swallowed these first three weeks. It's been exclusively vegetables so hearing Enzo loving sweet stuff, I'll explore fruits and banana rice from this weekend. Weaning is proving much trickier (and discouraging) for us than breastfeeding which baby boy took to straight away. Your tips are super encouraging though, we shall persevere!

[@rachel9199]

Been following for 11 years and am in my third trimester with twins. Thanks for the video 😊

[@therealistminimalist992]

Just to put anyone’s mind at rest, choking is only as common with blw as it is with purées and traditional weaning 😊

[@wa6184]

To add to that: choking is different to gagging but sounds/looks the same so a lot of people think the baby is choking on sth when they're actually just gagging from unfamiliar textures etc.

[@therealistminimalist992]

@@wa6184 Yes, totally! 🙌

[@Skyebright1]

Yeah you have food large enough for them to hold they’ll be fine

[@trudiegordon6327]

Take no notice of the bad parent remark - you are one of the best parents out there and cook which so many don't. You cook healthy things too which a lot of people don't. How dare they be so critical. You keep doing what you do Fleur we who care and have been good parents don't need people who think they are better making comments. Miss your home and garden views though. Understand with small children it is easier though.

[@madeleinep7103]

It's so nice to hear you talk about why you like the weaning process. It is fun and funny isn't it?

[@alovegreaterthanlife]

I love this. We used most of this stuff. ❤ Ikea bowl, tommee tippee cups and coveralls. We were more BLW due to baby and mummy preference but still used these. 😊

[@evelynmoreno9399]

Thanks for this video!! Super useful !! Please, can you consider doing a video on your favourite baby food recipes ? Thanks !

[@beauty_buys_uklisa3868]

So helpful, thank you. I like that you discuss pros and cons of things :)

[@foo8lover]

We are a ''mix'' baby weaning family as well, the best of both world!

[@KAnneHackett]

For anyone who may read this, please do not scoop food out of your baby’s mouth 🥲. If they take a chunk too big, they will gag it out, their gag reflex is so strong for a reason! If you take food out of their mouths it can actually push it back into their throat and cause them to choke. Solid Starts is a great source of information for weaning.

[@amandahomebody]

This was so helpful!! Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@michellet133]

Perfect timing my little one is 3 months and been thinking about what to do when she gets to weaning!

[@kiradot]

I hate mommy wars. I have 5 children and have done traditional, BLW and a mix based on the child. Two of my children were premature and in feeding therapy. The therapist actually said different methods work best for different children, many women think because they read something on social media or in a parenting magazine it is gospel. Women, let’s do better.

[@_JoyceArt]

Oh, could you use that pacifier to fill and freeze/cool when your baby is teething? I can imagine that feeling nice when your mouth hurts.

[@NonStopParis]

The funny thing about feeding judgement is that most humans on the planet don’t have the privilege of even being able to choose if their kids get fed or not. I think a kid is going to be fine eating from a pouch every now and again.

[@Cakebaker07]

My son is a year and he is allergic to carrots and pineapple. I’m so sad I absolutely love pineapple. But we just adjust our recipes to leave those out.

[@mshighfashion20]

Thankyou video came just at the right time my little girl is 5 months old and cannot remember how I did weaning with my 3 year old

[@ClaraSais]

Oh man I so don’t miss those days 😂

[@shereypalma8246]

When did you start weaning?

[@FleurDeForce]

Just before 6 months :)
