Weaning twins

Hello multiple mamas!
I wondered if anyone can offer any advice on weaning my twins - 6months old. One twin is almost ready to wean - she’s close to sitting up alone and showing interest in food. The other twin is not yet sitting and not showing any signs she’s ready.
Should I wean one before the other or wait until they’re both ready?
I’m planning on following the Solid Starts BLW programme - also any reviews on this would be great if anyone’s tried?
And just any general twin weaning tips please :-)

My twins are 8 months old. I just started offering food to both once they hit 6 months. I found they were able to sit upright in the ikea high chair. One refused food for a good 2 weeks, but now eats as much as the other.

If one is ready, go with it - your two will not always be ready at the same time. Offering food to one might accelerate the twin, or they might be on completely different schedules. They will pull apart and then come back together over time, don’t worry about how they are pacing each other.

How are they both doing now @Stillhoping1990?
