When did your baby commence BLW?<\/b>\u00a0I started weaning Leo just before 6 months. He was showing all the signs and had great hand eye coordination, which has only improved since starting our journey.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>2. What were bub\u2019s first foods?<\/b>\u00a0Leo started with basic finger foods such as cucumber, toast, various veg that I had roasted\/ steamed and cauliflower cheesy bites.\u00a0I then introduced fruits, rice cakes, boiled egg, zuchinni fritters, home made hummus, fruit pur\u00e9e with yoghurt or porridge, home made burger logs, omelette\u2026 the list goes on. I can tell if he likes something as his little legs cycle with excitement and he lets out an almighty squeal.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. At what month did your baby \u2018really\u2019 start to eat \/ swallow a lot more foods?\u00a0<\/b>We are only about 3-4 weeks into our food journey, so some things he still spits out. He is getting much better at chewing, and swallowing textures he likes, but is still mostly experimenting with food at this point. He seems really keen to try most things and I love watching his facial expressions. He has developed a little cheeky habit, when finished with something, he \u2018mic drops\u2019 it on the floor and smiles.<\/p>\n<p><b>4. If you could give one piece of advice to new mums\/dads starting out, what would it be?\u00a0<\/b>I\u2019m a first time mum and still getting used to the gagging, but Leo seems so unphased and will smile once he\u2019s bought the food up, so that reassures me. The mess can be a bit of a pain, but I can\u2019t believe the improvement already in his pincer grip, accuracy at picking things up and problem solving to get food of various sizes and shapes in his mouth. I figured the short term mess will be worth the long term gain of an independent eater with great fine motor skills. Hopefully it will also lead to a child who eats a wide range of foods. I was such a fussy eater growing up.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m really enjoying the weaning, as is Leo, and I\u2019m becoming more confident in trying more adventurous foods and flavour profiles.<\/p>\n<p>Hope this is helpful in some way.<\/p>\n<p>X Mummy Cassie<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi,Here is our story\u2026.1.
