BLW

I’m no expert as I just started two days ago giving my LO some boiled veg só she can play with them.

I do it at lunch and/or dinner time so I can enjoy a meal without her sitting in my lap. I always give her milk first, she drinks if she wants to.

I’m mainly doing it for fun. She mashes the veg, plays with them in her hands, puts them in her mouth and makes the funniest faces 😂 I’ve tried broccoli and carrot so far, tomorrow we are going for potato.

Someone on Peanut advices me to get the Solid Starts app. The free version tell you how to cut/cook/serve all kinds of food, even according to the LOs age.

Thank you ana I’m guessing to give it a go and offer bottles as I do and it will go from there. Little one isn’t a big milk drinker either so makes me worry x

They recommend an hour after a bottle but if the feeds are all over the place I’d maybe choose a time and stick to it so like half 4 is when you try a veggie? I’m not expert though

When I started a few weeks ago I would try and offer food an hour or so after a milk feed, as longs as she wasn’t really tired.
I did read though as they progress their eating you should offer milk after the solids so they start to think of solids as their “main food” … I’m no expert though!

I am no expert either, not long started myself as lil one turned 6 months recently.

Starting off I wouldn’t stress about doing food at a certain time, at this point it’s about introducing them to food. I always offer milk first & on the recommendation of my health visitor I’m doing a mix of BLW & purees.

I agree that the solid starts app is really good, I’ve found this useful. Also if you sign up to Ella’s kitchen they send you vouchers & a free wall chart where you can track the veg & fruit your baby has tried.
