Baby-led weaning is a method of introducing solid foods to infants, allowing them to self-feed rather than being spoon-fed. This approach typically starts around six months of age when babies can sit up independently and show interest in food. Parents offer soft, age-appropriate foods in manageable pieces, encouraging babies to explore textures and flavors at their own pace. This method promotes independence and helps develop fine motor skills as babies learn to grasp and chew. Baby-led weaning also encourages healthy eating habits by allowing children to choose what they want to eat, fostering a positive relationship with food from an early age.
