BLW help!
When did everyone’s babies stop just playing with the food and actually eating bits? We’re 3 weeks in with finger food and my LG happily takes it to her mouth and picks it up well etc. but mostly just plays with it… I know food is for fun but getting a tiny bit frustrated wasting food every night 😂

Around 9 months for us too. I stressed so much about it unnecessarily, babies get there in their own time! I used to put very little food on her plate, if she wanted more I would go get more. Like the first time she actually ate avocado instead of just holding it, I gave her one little slice, when she actually ate it and wanted more, I gave her one more slice at a time and she ended up eating almost a whole avocado 😂
This is exactly why I spoon fed until he understood what food was 3 months in. I gave finger foods from 1.5 months in along side the purées/meals and then went full BLW after that. He now never plays around or throws food unless he’s full and doesn’t want anymore.

I think it took my daughter until about 9 months before she ate anymore than the odd tiny bit.
