It's still early days I know, but a week in and baby-led weaning isn't going particularly well for DD (6 months).
She can sit in her high chair and reach the tray where we put steamed batons of various vegetables. But her hand eye coordination isn't great, so the food doesn't really make it to her mouth. If we help her, she will give the food a lick and half-hearted gum, but not sure much goes in.
I know it doesn't matter, it's more about trying new flavours and textures but still relying on breast milk for nutrition, but am I doing something wrong? DD does seem very interested when we're eating, so I think she's ready... maybe just a matter of time?
We have tried a bit of traditional purée too but she doesn't love this either, and we're keen to give BLW a good go.
Anyone with experience or advice? Thank you.
