Hello everyone!
So I expect this is a very stupid question but here goes anyway…
I am so confused by the term baby led weaning, particularly when it is defined in comparison to spoon feeding. I have recently bought a BLW cookbook and a good 50% of recipes would require a spoon in my opinion (soup being an example that immediately springs to mind!). Is the difference that in BLW the baby feeds themselves with the spoon - active vs passive? The same goes for so many other recipes - cottage pie, fish pies, macaroni… surely baby eats these with cutlery rather than their fingers? And if so, then surely they need help as they would be unable to use cutlery when you start to wean them? Meaning that these BLW recipes actually require you to spoon feed them (or at very least help)?!?
TIA!!
