Baby-Led Weaning
Baby-Led Weaning is a method of introducing solid foods to infants, allowing them to self-feed rather than being spoon-fed. This approach encourages babies to explore different textures and flavors at their own pace, typically starting around six months of age when they show readiness signs, such as sitting up independently and showing interest in food.
With Baby-Led Weaning, parents offer whole pieces of soft, age-appropriate foods instead of purees. This method promotes the development of fine motor skills and encourages healthy eating habits by allowing children to choose what and how much they eat, fostering independence and self-regulation in their diet.
