How do I start…

Hello, I’m trying to get my head around weaning as I will be going back to work at the same time so want it to be as simple as possible 😅 From my research my understanding is that baby eats what we eat & we all sit and eat together. Does it matter what meal it is or what they eat? Does anyone have any tips on how to start there’s so much information. I’ve listed a few dinners that in theory I think baby could join in with - am I on the right track? Mild chicken curry with rice and a fruit/veg on the side Shepards pie and a fruit/veg on the side Fajitas (non seasoned chicken for baby) Tuna sweetcorn pasta Noodles stir fry veggies and plain pork Then for dinners that aren’t baby appropriate (or are all dinners appropriate? i.e. hoisin pork for the noodles) or if I’m working late so dinner would be past bedtime I plan to buy a few pouches of food - would this confuse the BLW process? Sorry for the essay thanks all ☺️

To start with I would give a vegetable or fruit and work up to a meal Majority can be modified for baby as long as doesn’t contain food they cant have and its cut to be safe its fine!! Dinners you listed seem good to me for a baby! Giving purees wont impact baby at all! Purees are solids technically because anything not milk is a solid! I wouldn’t give baby anything not for their age though as it might not be prepared safely for them

The little packets like that are good however if your little one isn’t used to chewing food and those size bites it is a choking hazard as they have chunks and bits in them so I would give them an extra shred! Xx

Finger foods are great for BLW as you can cut things like avocado, fruit, veg, cheese into long finger sizes and they’re perfect and easy to store in the fridge for when you’re at work!

Egg bites are also great because you can add cheese, veg, meat and freeze them! So when you’re at work they can be defrosted overnight for baby or even to be made in the morning they are so quick!

(Using cupcake trays, throw in egg, anything u want and it makes the perfect size for BLW!)

I would ideally start with first tastes of veg and fruit build up to combinations of them and then start meals but it’s always each to their own x
