Blw or purées?

[helloitsme4432]

Hey! What are the advantages of BLW and is it better for my baby than starting with purées then progressing to lumpier foods?
I know you can do both at the same time also, but is one better than the other?
Thank you

Oh and DS1 was only on lunch for ages because it took him an hour to eat a bloody meal (BLW)! So I just didn’t have time in the day to do that three times. I think he was on 2 meals a day by 7 months and 3 meals a day by 8 months, when he got faster at eating.

As far as I remember DD went to 3 meals a day almost right away, like within a week or two.

I think I have a bf supply problem as she's shot from 30th percentile for weight to 84th between her 6 and 9 month checkups... poor hungry baby 😳

Lol same with DS - he was always tall but weaning made him go up to the 50th weight centile from the 25th!

We did purées at first, but usually offered a little bit of finger food. At first she just gagged on it and I really didn't like it, so was happy she took the purée! I think we switched to two meals by about 7 months then three meals by 9 months, although she did tend to have a snacky meal from about 8 months iirc. She's now 11 months and I bf in the morning and evening, and often once through the day and usually once at night still, but she eats masses of solid food during the day!

PS she now pretty much demands finger foods and refuses most "baby" foods!
