Probably going to start BLW in the next couple of days with my 6 month old. Looking for recommendations on which foods to start with, a little nervous to start š also when did you introduce allergens and family style dinners?

I used the solid starts app. It should you how and when to introduce food to baby :)

I'm also wondering what babys first tastes were and first things introduced to baby

Thereās a group on Facebook called āWeaning the BLW wayā which I am finding really helpful!
Iām thinking Iām going to give my LO either broccoli, pasta & cauliflower or an egg omelette with some veggies on the side for his first meal. You can introduce a single allergen at a time from day 1, you just have to allow 3-5 days between each one to monitor for a reaction xx

We used the book āhow to wean your babyā and found it very useful.
The first two weeks we did veg only, no fruits or anything sweet.

Start with vegetables for the first week or two, and only trial one food item at a time for example, purĆ©ed broccoli, not a mixture of lots of things. If youāre doing baby led, make sure it passes the squish test ie holds shape but is easily mushed by your fingers.
If your baby has an allergic reaction to anything youāll be able to pinpoint what the cause was. Be prepared for them to gag it is a natural reaction. They only need a small taste at a time. Good luck.
