Early start with blw.

[gluttom]

I want to do blw - it worked with my ds2. Dd is 22.5 weeks and grabbing everything - so difficult to hold her and eat. So today I tried to give her a bit of banana cut in various shapes/ with skin/ without skin but she just played with it a struggled to get to mouth. She had a good. suck of a cucumber baton though. I am worried it is a bit early so shall I stop or just give her a few bits to play with as and when it seems appropriate. She is ebf and feeding a LOT.

As far as I am aware from what I read when BLW'ing DS, if they can get it in their mouths themselves and eat it then they are ready so there is no harm in letting her play with food. If she is not ready then she won't manage to get it in her mouth/her tongue will push it back out.
