Weaning

we are waiting until he is 6 months in week so 24weeks. we did the same with my daughter but will be doing BLW again so will give him purées for about a week before so he can get use to the texture of food we found this helped my little girl not gag as much initially

Also, babies don’t need to be sitting up by themselves. They just have to able to hold themselves upright without slouching heavily either side. my little girl could sit independently for about 30 seconds without falling to the side before we started BLW but she got sit confidently in a high chair. We also found the type of high chair makes a difference, the fabric back ones we found make it harder for them to sit and reach. We prefer the ikea style one and actually bought a similar one from asda that goes all the way to the floor so he can sit by his sister too🥲 We find the ikea ones and similar help them to sit upright whereas the fabric ones tend to be reclined slightly and very low down so they have to reach high to be able to get food x

My wee one is 20 weeks and I’ve started winning him. He’s so much more content with it along side his milk. I was told by my health visitor to start off on water only but he’s having baby rice, Ella’s kitchens pouches and rusk biscuits for his teething. I did start him off on savoury first and just adding sweet in a little bit watching what he eats incase of allergies come from that food etc
