Baby-Led Weaning

Baby-Led Weaning

Introducing solid foods to your baby can be an exciting and daunting experience for new parents. With the rise of baby led weaning (BLW), many parents are opting for a more hands-off approach to introducing solid foods. Bean's Bistro organic baby food offers a variety of customizable options for BLW, providing whole, chopped, and pureed options that can make this journey more convenient and enjoyable for both you and your baby.

BLW is a method of introducing complementary foods to an infant's diet by allowing them to feed themselves soft-cooked cut-up finger foods right away. Unlike the traditional approach of offering pureed or mashed food from a spoon and gradually processing to lumpier textures and finger foods, BLW allows babies to explore and enjoy a variety of textures and flavors at their own pace.

The signs that your baby is ready for BLW at around 6 months old include good head control, the ability to sit up and lean forward, the ability to pick up food and try to put it in their mouth, and the ability to turn their head away to let you know they are full.

One of the potential advantages of BLW is that feeding your baby the same foods that the rest of the family is eating may help your baby accept different foods and be a less picky eater. Additionally, limited research available suggests that infants following BLW may be more responsive to hunger and satiety cues, suggesting better appetite control.

However, there are also potential disadvantages to BLW is that babies may not get enough iron or energy for healthy growth. It is important for parents/caregivers to encourage iron-rich foods as an infant's first foods.
