BLW
What are we all staring our babies on in BLW I’ve tried finger foods with fruit but he’ll take a chunk out and gag and then spit the chunk out I can’t lie it scares me! I’ve tried veggies in purées and he gags and hates them and will only take fruit ones- how can I change this?

How about mixing fruit and veg in a puree, or trying sweeter veg like carrot? Re blw my baby isn't a fan much either, only eats melty sticks. Though I made polenta fries for him last night and he managed to have a go with those. I find he can't hold steamed apple/pear/carrot when I prep them like solid starts says so I think I'm gonna make him stuff like pancakes & bites that he can hold more easily.
My baby only likes sweet too! I make homemade purées with veg and add a fruit to sweeten. So sweet potato, carrot and apple. Or broccoli and pear. Sweet potato goes down well cos it’s a veg but sweet too!

I tried half a large strawberry and raw carrot. She just licked it and played with it but was happy tasting it 🙌🏼 Then I gave her a spoon with yoghurt and she swallowed it all and lived it! Bought Bibado spoons as they are teethers as well and baby can use it as a toy and when bigger feed themself.
