Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) is an exciting way to introduce solids, allowing babies to explore food at their own pace. It encourages independence, fine motor skills, and healthy eating habits. Here’s a quick guide to getting started.

What is BLW?

BLW skips traditional spoon-feeding and purées, letting babies self-feed finger foods. It’s typically started around six months when babies can sit upright, have lost the tongue-thrust reflex, and show interest in food.

Essentials for BLW

1. High-Quality High Chair

• Ensure it’s safe, sturdy, and easy to clean, with a footrest for proper posture.

2. Baby-Safe Tableware

• Use non-slip plates, bowls, and training cups. Eco-friendly options from The Little Bunny Australia are ideal for little hands.

3. Ergonomic Utensils

• Soft-tipped spoons are great for pre-loaded feeding.

4. Mess-Friendly Bibs

• Waterproof or silicone bibs with a pocket make clean-up a breeze.

5. Baby-Friendly Foods

• Start with soft options like steamed veggies or ripe fruits. Avoid choking hazards like nuts or grapes.

Safety Tips

• Always supervise your baby during meals.

• Learn the difference between gagging and choking, and consider a baby first-aid course.

Why BLW?

BLW fosters independence, improves motor skills, and helps babies explore diverse textures and flavours.
