I was just googling about baby led weaning, (i tried starting it from the get go but hasnt gone very well.) My lo doesnt nibble at all and only bites off huge chunks and has nearly choked - not gagged - twice. Hence me hardly giving finger foods for the moment. He can even bite through a raw carrot stick and only has 1 tooth!.
Anyway, the argument for blw is that its the most natural way to introduce baby to eating etc....but is it? Not bashing etc and if it works for you great, but surely its more natural to help baby eat. If you were in a tribe in the wilderness what you would surely do is chew food first before giving to baby, like alot of animals do, food is 'mashed' in effect. ?
