Why there are so many bad comments about blw?

What on earth? Can’t they see that you’ve cut it into fingers and it’s clearly soft 🫠
People have always fed babies solids so it’s not even a generation thing. My family fed me a Christmas dinner at 2 months old (obviously not advised and I’d never 😂), but that’s solid food!
Don’t take any notice, not all babies like purées! X

my MIL is worried, he’s going to be constipated today 😂🙄that’s funny
He’s being doing blw about a month amd that has never happen

did BLW with my son from 6 months old and he was never constipated 🤣 he had plenty of veg, fibre and all the nutrients from good food that wasn’t mushed together into a slop.

Baby led weaning isn’t lazy at all! It’s the opposite, the effort it takes to safely prepare food as oppose to jar feeding.
We are also doing BLW, baby doesn’t really consume much but he’s trying so many textures and flavours unlike non BLW babies x

Your baby looks perfect and is eating well and is eating healthy food.

Your negative peeps and family can go sit on a stick.

You're all good

My son has been weaning in general since 4 month old (under professional guidance) after about a month he started HATING puréed food so we started him with very small soft blw foods and now he’s 8 months old and on two meals and roughly 4 bottles a day (and those two meals he would probably feed himself but I also use a spoon to help him get used to utensils) x

Load of rubbish, I’d tell them to mind their own business. You’ve done your own research and made your own choices. Besides solids before 1yo is just for fun!

Thankfully nobody commented negatively about me doing BLW with my LB. I’d have told them where they could shove their opinions if they did 😂

right and it’s totally natural for babies to be constipated as they transition from formula to solids 🙈 you’re clearly doing something good if he hasn’t been constipated at all! My babies had about 3 times now where he’s been terribly constipated and I’ve given him prunes etc to help.
What did she feed her kids then? And what does she think you’re going to feed him going forward 🙈 don’t let people make you feel bad for how you raise your baby, it’s your choice and yours alone x

It’s crazy because people criticize the way your maternity is and I am the one who was only the best for my kid! What are they talking about ?🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you all

My baby would starve if I didn't do BLW as does not like anything puree or off a spoon! U do u girl!!

The sad reality of BLW is that although it's been around for awhile, it's become this cultural norm for generations to feed pureed food. The difference now is that we have nutrition backed by science and data.
So, we just need to keep educating these people, in a you know, thanks but no thanks kind of way.
Being an Australian though, bluntly speaking I tend to go a bit extreme when I get someone ignorant.

BLW is pretty new to the mainstream tbh. I get comments from grandparents as they would never in a million years thought to have fed whole foods at 6 months. I just told them that we were doing what our doctor recommended as a way to combat allergies (both of us have them so are cautious about our LO) and that shut them up pretty quickly.

But also what was that meal? That actually looks so good

exactly

banana pancake made with flour, egg, banana and formula
With some pieces of mango
I always like to tried his food and this pancakes were so yummy 🙄 I regret not doing some for me with regular milk 🫤

He is not allergic to eggs or flour.

Not me being upset we used the last banana today 🤣 I want that for me!!

I’m gonna be really honest with you and it might sound mean but it’s your baby. You know your baby better then anyone else’s in this world! If you choose to feed your baby solid food then that’s up to you and your husband everyone else need to shut the fuck up and stop trying to tell you what to do. And if you feel comfortable remind people like that, that it’s a privilege for them yo be in your babies life. And the food looks really good it’s not like it’s the hard foods or like your giving the baby dog food. You are a good mama don’t listen to other people everyone always want to tell us moms what to do with our kids. When they are not the ones that stay up at night, or stress over everything, or who does everything 24/7. Remember it’s ok to stand your ground I had to learn that the hard way to especially with my first born and people are still trying to tell me that I can’t teach him Russian or Ukrainian or what is ok for him to eat something that they want to give him.

Your 100% doing amazing mama my son started blw at 6 months and by 9 months he was eating 3 full meals a day and is now a happy healthy full eater as a one year old blw is great if a parent is comfortable doing it it’s honestly harder than purées so that makes you far from a lazy parent

so funny 😂😂

thank you so much for this! I really appreciate it and you are just right🩵 God bless you

🩵🙏🏻Thang you! God bless

My 10 month old eats salmon and rice 😭 just let them, they’re just jealous your baby is eating good than them!

Tell them to do some research and educate themselves before commenting on something they obviously know nothing about. 🙄

I don’t see anything wrong with how the baby is eating. Sometimes babies play with their food before they actually put it inside their mouth. My year old does that a lot. Please let’s just allow the kids to be kids, they can’t rush their food like we the adults. Sometimes, they also make a mess In trying to feed. This baby I’m seeing is so happy with his food. I don’t any anything wrong. Mum, you are doing a great job and don’t let any comment make you feel bad or that you ain’t doing enough. Taking care of babies is one of the hardest jobs ever. I commend you for this great job. Well done.👏👏

Remember you are doing your best. It’s really hard to be a mom. My 19 month old makes a mess every time he eat sometimes it gets little stressful but I’m thankful for those messes bc sadly one day there will be no messes to clean up. Right now my house looks like a a bomb blow up bc I pick up one mess and a second later another one is made. And a lot of us moms think that we aren’t doing a good job just bc we see all those pictures every where everything is spotlessly and perfectly cleaned and placed but that not the real life. We are not robots! You are aloud to let your baby be a baby who throws a tantrum almost every 5 to 10 min and it’s ok bc they don’t know about there feelings and emotions yet. And most kids do better ar handling there feeling, emotion and words then most adults. So take a feeble breath let it out and give yourself a break.
You are an amazing mama and you are doing your best! And if anyone else tries to be an ass send them my way♥️♥️♥️

I had such a hard time getting my baby to start solids even when she turned one she had no interest. I got comments all the time “just feed her purées” which trust me I tried and “just hand her whatever you’re eating” which again I tried. I feel like I tried anything from purée spoon feeding to blw and nothing worked. My daughter is now almost 16 months and within the past I’d say 3 ish months she’s really gotten the hang of it. One day she just flat out stole my pizza out of my hand and ate it😂. Moral of my story is, I pressured myself as well as baby BECAUSE of all the “advice” I was getting on top of people plain overstepping my boundaries when I specifically would say not to give her something and they just didn’t listen. All babies are different, mad at myself for not going at my baby’s pace but I also have to remember I’m a ftm and the blatant “advice” from everyone can have a huge impact and not always good. Don’t listen to them, as long as baby is enjoying and doctor approves
