So I've ALWAYS been keen to wean via baby led. We started weaning at 6 months old and my dd is now 9 months. Anytime I've tried baby led it's about 30% going well and the rest choking. Dd has no teeth yet and I've attempted it again tonight (yes, I do cut things to size and the right size, I follow guidelines etc to not let her choke and she still bloody chokes! I'm encouraged by everyone to try baby led more than ever now by family so she can 'wear in' her teeth which I think is a load of bull as the foods are soft, but is there something I'm not getting?! I want her to learn how to feed herself even though she's really good with spoon feeding herself baby porridge etc, I'd rather give her proper stuff other than bought baby porridge, yogurt etc. But this is ridiculous. I panic every single time.
Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong? Did you do baby led or like me, has it frightened you?
