Fully BLW Moms
If anyone’s started on weaning already with full on BLW so no purées at all, can you share you experience so far?
I am still confused if I want to do BLW fully or combine with some purées on the side.
I am also dead scared on choking despite having a first aid course during pregnancy

Haven't started with this baby yet but I did full BLW with my toddler who's now 2. Main thing I'd say it to know the difference between gagging and choking. Gagging is completely normal, baby's have their gag reflex further forward as a defence mechanism so gagging is to be expected really. Don't panic when you see it and try fish the food out as this is more likely to then lead to choking. A good rhyme is 'loud and red, let them go ahead. Silent and blue, they need help from you'. My daughter took to it really well, we never had a choking incident. Even gagging there wasn't much if an issue, she only really did it with the skin of an apricot when she'd got through the flesh bit 😂
I've started with a combination so I've done eg avocado purée as well as a slice of it.... He's preferring purées at the moment but I'm still going to offer both
