Thanks girls! You’re all brave doing baby lead whining I’m doing purées ha ha Where do you find the recipes for this stuff? If you’re doing it fresh.
My LB is 7m next week and eating breakfast, snack then a big dinner. I’m doing a mix between BLW and spoon feeding because he’s getting angry that he’s not actually getting much in his mouth when trying to eat himself. He’s actually hungry which was the opposite to my little girl!
I’m doing a mix of things I would usually have anyway, using the baby led weaning cookbook app and also what mummy makes book ☺️
3 meals a day.. today he’s had jam on toast, lunch was chicken soup and peaches and dinner will be spaghetti bolognaise and berry frozen yoghurt. He does have a few snacks aswell like rice cakes baby biscuits, carrot puffs etc and he’s nicked some of my tuna pasta aswell x
@incog I did it with my first and it’s really not that scary!!. A lot of people rate the What Mummy Makes book, I have the How to Wean Your Baby book but we mostly just give a bit of what we’re eating before we add salt, or use low/no salt stock cubes etc
So how are you guys doing it because I’m reading that Ella’s kitchen one and that says do one veg every couple of days?
I give one or two veg everyday whenever we sat down for food. My kids both love veggies and my eldest eats EVERYTHING.
I did one veg for 2 days back when I started weaning at 4.5 months I did this for a month and then he started having meals and breakfast x
I did two new veg a day for the first 2 weeks and then went into meals from there. Offering a new veg every 2 days is just one way of doing it, you can go quicker. Just with allergens you should only do one a day and ideally leave a few days before introducing the next allergen
I try and do something different every day unless it’s an allergen, which I’ll give for 3 days and check for any symptoms before introducing another.
Barely anything at the moment, she’s still mostly gagging on food so it’s mostly just tastes at the moment! Once she gets the hang of eating properly I’ll try and give her more of a meal, but as above with BLW it’s hard to know how much is actually eaten.
