Blw second time around remind me!

[SnowWhite26]

My 6 month old is really enjoying eating.Hes having a mix of purees and finger foods. Prefers to do it himself though. Can you remind me if I make normal spag bol for the family for instance can he just have that not masbed just chopped?
Remind me please of how i start haha
Thanks x

Yes as long as there is not any salt. Rigatoni pasta might be easier for him to hold.

It's a very long time since I weaned mine but I might be tempted to serve his with fusilli rather than spaghetti!

[SnowWhite26]

Oh yeah good idea. But the bolenaise bit is ok even though lumpy? Any other good things to start with?

[Wallsbangers]

If you're doing BLW, he can just have whatever you have in the form you would eat it (just with an eye on sale intake) and let him feed himself. We like fusilli or penne as it's easy to hold in a tiny hand.

I used to adjust cooking methods so that things like soy sauce, Thai fish sauce, stock cubes, anchovies and absolutely anything else salty was added right at the end rather than at the beginning, and I would remove the baby's portion before adding these things.

Babies should not have more than tiny amounts of salt, but I do NOT want to eat salt-free food, sorry!

Actually I found spaghetti was easier for him to hold at the beginning because he could grab a whole lot and suck the sauce off. Now that his pincer grip is developed he is better with penne and fusilli

They can have everything except honey (fine after 12 months) and avoid obvious choking hazard sized things like whole nuts

Thanks everyone. He is absolutely desperate for the food and gets cross coz he cant hold it properly so just opens his mouth really wide haha so im doing a bit of both its mainly lumpyish but sometimes im holds the bit of banana and hes sucking and chewing im im scooping into his mouth like the bolgenaise tonight. He loves food its mad how much he can eat! X
