We don\u2019t need to pack Jonah something special when we go out!<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. When did your baby commence BLW?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jonah started BLW shortly before turning 7 months. He was very interested in our food but we were waiting for him to be sitting unassisted.<\/p>\n

2. What were bub\u2019s first foods?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Avocado, mango, banana, sweet potato\u2026 Fairly common baby foods I think. We were pretty conservative and didn\u2019t really dive into the \u201cbaby eats what you eat\u201d method. He enjoyed matzo balls and pickles early on though!<\/p>\n

3. At what month did your baby \u2018really\u2019 start to eat \/ swallow a lot more foods?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was amazed that it probably only took a couple weeks for him to actually chew and swallow his food. (Maybe because he started a little older than some.) We rarely had a mess on the floor. Just on his body! He definitely needed time to work out his gag reflex so I am grateful for the education and support from other BLW mamas to get us through it! I would have freaked out if I didn\u2019t know the difference between gagging and choking, when to intervene, and when to leave him to it.<\/p>\n

4. If you could give one piece of advice to new mums\/dads starting out, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our little ones are so smart. We don\u2019t give them enough credit sometimes. From figuring out their gag reflex to figuring out what part of the food to eat, they really do take the lead on this journey. We are just there to help if they need it!<\/p>\n

5. Any setbacks ie allergies, intolerances, eating regression?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jonah got a stomach bug that lingered for a few weeks while my husband was out of the country. I had to be really careful with what I gave him as he was regaining strength. He was so skinny when dad returned. It was heartbreaking\u2026 but he got right back into his food routine. There were some other regressions as he was teething or exploring his autonomy.<\/p>\n

He also had a sensitivity to dairy but only where it touched his skin. It didn\u2019t affect his digestion. To be safe, we avoided dairy for a while and slowly re-introduced it at the advice of the pediatrician. He is 20 months now and doesn\u2019t seem to be affected anymore.<\/p>\n

6. What age is your baby now and is she\/he a good eater now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jonah is 20 months old and loves to eat. He can still be particular about what he is eating at times. Sometimes he won\u2019t like something but he will still ask for more even though he isn\u2019t eating it! He is still curious and developing preferences, just like I am still learning foods that I like.<\/p>\n
