Hi! First time mum trying to get as much info as possible in advance 🙂
My ds is 14 weeks so way too early to wean, but I'm just looking ahead, trying to prepare. He's breastfed, but will take bottles also.
At 6 months I'd like to be mostly bottle feeding and trying him on food as the guidelines say he should be ready by then, however he was a month early, not sure if this could make a difference?
Also, I'm a bit nervous about baby led weaning! I know this will sound so stupid, but due to medical things, my earliest memories of food involve getting food stuck, so the thought of my tiny baby choking /gagging terrifies me! He is the first baby in the family for donkeys years too, so no one in my family knows about baby led weaning, my parents and in laws did the puree /mashing up before giving proper solids later.
Can anyone give me any advice? I'll speak to my hv of course nearer the time, but I'm worried they might be funny with me if I say I want to stop breastfeeding And am reluctant about blw, as I know these are things they can be pushy about?
