Does anyone have any advise on where I can read about what BLW actually is? Also what is the alternative to baby led weaning? Thank you.

The Annabel Karmel book is very good, it explains both baby led and purées
Thank you. Is the annabel karmel baby led weaning books? Xxx

It gives details on both methods

Blw is basically giving them things they can pick up and hold so they are "leading" with what they're eating by actually taking it, rather than being fed puree. My first I tried a bit of both but she never liked me doing the feeding so i either gave her wee bits on a spoon to do herself or she used to eat straight from the wee pouches lol
Oh thank you so much. I’m getting closer and closer to it and getting myself all worked up not knowing what’s best xxxx

Baby led weaning is offering babe solid foods from the start and letting them feed themselves everything. The alternative would be traditional weaning or combination weaning. Traditional weaning is using puree and feeding babe with a spoon. Combination weaning is a mixture of both methods - letting babe feed themselves some food and feeding them others. X
