We loved Baby Led Weaning – It worked for us and it was my inspiration to start blogging in the first place so I thought I’d put together a few baby led weaning tips for anyone considering going down this route with their child.
Disclosure: We were sent the featured products for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.
When we had LP we decided that Baby Led Weaning was the right route for us and thankfully when we chose to start baby weaning LP loved it too, it clicked and worked and we haven’t looked back. In hindsight though I was very much a BLW purist when we started weaning her onto solid foods – I followed the baby led weaning book to a tee, everything was home made and I scrutinised everything for the minutest traces of salt. I wouldn’t say it was bad to be that way but looking back there is no way that I can do things the same way now I have two children.
We’ve now been weaning Little Man for a month and it’s going amazingly well. We decided to do Baby Led Weaning after doing BLW with LP and Little Man has picked it up incredibly quickly.
Little Man is 6 months on 10th November and we had said that we’d wait until then to start Baby Led Weaning but over the last few days LM has been trying to take food from us and gnawing on everything. He was also very happy to sit in his Bumbo. Add to that the fact that he has been teething a lot of the last week and I thought it might be nice for him to chew on a cucumber stick – soothing for his gums and starting our BLW journey at the same time.

After the popularity of my Cheese Scones recipe, I thought I would also share my Healthy Fruit Scone Recipe for a bit of variety. This basic scone recipe gives a lovely sweet option and something else to add to the baby led weaning menu but also something that the whole family can enjoy. I don’t think you can ever have too many scone recipes!

We have now been Baby Led Weaning for 3 months. Little Pickle has still only fed herself, we have never spoon fed her. BLW is definitely a way of life for us now and I am so glad that we first started weaning this way.

Well I’m new to all this Blogging malarkey but I guess I should start with an introduction! I am Donna, Mummy to my beautiful Little Pickle (LP) born 28th August 2011. The last 7 months have been trying, but have also been the best of my life. I am loving being a mother but in all honesty it isn’t a walk in the park – some days are knackering, some are tedious and some I just feel like crying! But most days are rewarding at least in a small part and the whole journey that LP and I are making is one huge learning curve!
