Weaning....

[Toasttea]

I’m going to start weaning my DS this weekend he’s 6 months on Monday. I’m hoping to do blw, what’s your experiences like?

Fine! At first I started him on some jars, but then decided to just go straight to BLW so he had toast, soft carrot batons, cheese sticks, etc. Put it on their tray and they'll figure it out for themselves. X

It's nice and warm at the moment - strip baby down to nappy, make sure you've got baby wipes on hand and go for it. In my experience you're in for 4 weeks of mega mess (and fun) and then more of it starts to actually get eaten. Enjoy it

Thanks for the replies! oh yes I’m expecting lots of mess 😊 i was going to try him with some mashed up fruit and veg first

You don't need to mash it OP, just make sure it's stick shaped and soft

Mashed and spoon fed isn't strictly speaking BLW
