@talk.baby.to.me: Interested in BLW but have no idea where to start?🫣 You’ve come to the right place! SLP here and I’ve got you covered in my baby led weaning skills and safety series! Be sure to follow for more ❤️ When I first began my BLW journey, I relied on the @101 before one Starting Solids program for every step of the process, including the best way to prep and present first foods for my six month old. Here are my favorites that all encourage self-feeding: 🥄offering mashed food on a grippy spoon builds lip closure and helps baby move their tongue side to side while practicing bringing the spoon to their mouth 🍞spread a thin layer of mash on lightly toasted low sodium ezekiel bread (frozen aisle) so it is easy to hold without getting too gummy or too crunchy 🍌serve soft foods on their own in wedges or strips (size of 2 adult fingers) that pass the mash test between your fingers like banana, ripe avocado, or sweet potato so baby can grab, squish, and self feed independently #babyledweaning #blw #babyledfeeding #101beforeone #introducingsolids
