Baby-Led-Weaning

After reading numerous blogs about baby-led-weaning, I decided to try it out for myself. Scarlett has always stared down Rob and I as we ate so I thought this wouldn't be a bad idea at all! Baby-led-weaning is so fun for Scarlett, but it also gives me nightmares of her choking. Literally... I still have nightmares and wake up from them so scared I can't sleep even though I have a real tough guy right next to me. Maybe I'll grow out of them someday. ANYWAY, because of that I still haven't gone all in with it.

She has been doing so good with handling the food and just taking little bites out at a time. I have been so glad that there hasn't been any choking yet. (Knock on wood.) This has been so much to see her try out new things and love (almost) everything that I have given her.

For breakfast lately I've been giving her eggs, fruit, and one day I made some blueberry banana muffins. The first time that I gave Scarlett the eggs she loved them! But ever since then she hasn't been as interested. The blueberry muffins were okay but she would just pick the blueberries out. So lately I have just been giving her some fruit. Her favorites are bananas and STRAWBERRIES. She is so obsessed with strawberries, she has to have one in each hand when she eats them just to really get the full experience.




Her mom it's too early for pictures face.




Despite her face she really does love strawberries so much!


For lunch/dinner I have been doing peas/avacados/green beans/and I just tried some tortellini. She wasn't really interested in the tortellini and I gave her some of my chicken that she wasn't as into either. So for now I will just keep putting it in front of her until she tries it.




Right now she is just into eating some, and then throwing it all on the floor and looking at it from there. But I will take what I can get. Whenever she seems to not eat a lot I just give her some strawberries and she goes crazy!



It's been so fun to let her try out all of these different things. It feels good not being the only source of food for her, even though she eats about the same, it still feels different! I feel free!!!! Lol.

  1. Love getting the snapchats of her eating lol! She's doing great and so are you! Does she like orange stuff? That's usually what you start babies off on. Sweet potatoes, yams, carrots, etc. Hali loved them.
