Landon is 6 months and she did such a great job her first week of baby led weaning. We will be combining BLW with her purees and milk. She loves the independence BLW gives her and it gives me a little of time to eat or clean up a bit. I didn't realize the brown bread from Cheesecake Factory has honey in it. Babies aren't suppose to have honey so avoid that! See links below!

This is awesome my baby turned 6 months a few days ago, he high chair gets here Saturday I’m so excited to teach her! ♥️
How exciting! It’s one of the best things you can do to set up independence early!

Thanks so much for this video I can't wait my baby girl to start eating on her own. She will be 6 months in April
I loved BLW. It was one of the best things we did for her!
So glad to see someone else who is going from purées to BLW makes this anxious momma way more comfortable! I’d love to chat about it sometime!
Be sure to check out my latest video on it too! It’s very nerve wracking.
How cute is she, I mean come on:). She's unbelievably adorable!
Idk why people don’t like blw for us it was the best thing we have done with our baby girl
Loved this video! My baby is almost 3 months so I’m just starting my research on BLW.
There are a lot of good books and there are some online courses too. I've loved it.
Awe she’s doing great! ♥️
Also the grab ease spoon and fork is soooo awesome for BLW I definitely would check it out.
I will! Thanks so much.

Awesome video but a good rule for babyled weaning is to cut food to approximately the length of your adult index finder. Those baby carrots we’re making me a tad bit nervous there. Just a tip for whoever comes upon this video
It doesn't seem like she's actually eating and digesting much food? I think the BLW is a great method but always wonder if the baby is getting enough food, especially when they're first learning. She's doing a great job!
From my research they still are getting most of their nutrition from formula or breast milk but I still gave her purees since she was low on the percentile of weight. Thanks for watching.
Food before one is just for fun...the baby will still be getting most of her nutrition from breast milk or formula until she's over a year old. Some cultures only give breast milk (no solids) for the first year of the child's life, because that's really all they need.
@@magicalmomlaura she's adorable and seems to be doing great!
Good luck with her and God bless!
100% Adorable
OMG this baby is beautiful!
Landon did great! She's so adorable
I agree! I hope all is well with your pregnancy!
What I dont understand is if they don't have teeth yet, are they not just ..basically.. swallowing chunk of food? I know they can mash it up a little with their gums but not probably
(No hating, video is great, I'm just genuinely interested?)
They can chew with gums :)
That's adorable! We did purees and then finger foods because my daughter was a gagger. But hopefully if we get pregnant again we can get a do over.
Good luck for the next time mom😍
@@lukakifamilie1644 gagging is completely normal for BLW... You're gonna get the same response next time
I just start all this at 8 mo.and you don't have gagging. Lol
@@courtneycoley8487 they still gag.
I want to start this with my baby he’s 6 months but I am soooo scared of him choking :(
It is a huge fear but it has been a wonderful experience. Do your research and see if it is something that works for you! Also, check out my updated video where I talk about that fear: czcams.com/video/F8MItCMOQs8/video.html
My baby is 6 months old will be 7 months old on the 30th I would love to try this but I am also scared of her choking
Yahara Bustillos you should be scared, this is just plain dumb. Dont put your child through that. It's too risky and if something happened it would be your fault.
I agree, this is scary. Cute, but scary. Definitely choking hazard. I appreciate Laura’s response, it’s definitely not for everyone, and by everyone, I mean myself lol
@@alexbabescassie8155 Id suggest doing the reasearch. Many of the foods at this stage need to be steamed so easier to get down since they cant "chew." you can start with really soft foods and fruits. Theres really good research around it.
She is amazing at eating !!!
BLW was one of the best things I did!
I am so glad I stumbled across your video! For the past week I have been doing research on this BLW! My 5 month old boy just started some cereal last week to keep his belly full in the morning and afternoon/evening. He's about 18lbs haha. The few videos I have seen made me think I had to go right from milk/formula to solids. So you did purees for a while first?
Yes. My dr said start purées and she was low weight. She loves them and started gaining weight. I introduced BLW when she was ready and I did a mix of both. You know best for your child. Feed him however you like! I have another video on BLW. I would get nervous with the gagging and back off a little! BLW was one of the best things I did.
@@magicalmomlaura I will check out your other video, thank you!! He seemed to have fun, briefly, with a banana last night! I'm super excited to see his reaction to new foods and watch him learn, but yes, super nervous as well..
Be honest, did she choke at all while trying to learn this?
WetBackDory no she never choked. There’s lots of gagging with BLW and that is normal. You can check out my other BLW video too.
My son is 5 months and we just started blw. I didn't start with purees, but might add in a few just to get some nutrients in him. It's quite adorable watching them eat, but so messy!
antigonepc that’s wonderful. It was such a wonderful experience for us and I’m so glad more people are doing it.
My mom lets me eat blw too, and now after one month i can eat the whole world😍😍 lucas 7 months old now
haha. That's so great!
Can I just ask did Landon have any teeth at this point? And when giving apple and I see pepper there did you stew it slightly or just give raw? Baby turns 6 months tomorrow - has had purees from 5 months so is very used to all different flavours now but want to get started on BLW xx
She did have teeth but not many. From my research they just gum it. I lightly steamed them. I would recommend following Feeding Littles on instagram and they have a course. I didn't take it but I like the info they give on insta! Good luck! It's such a fun and exciting time and for me setting up independence for her this early was an amazing experience.
Happy first Christmas Miss Landon and mommy and daddy too 😘
Love it!! I'm a huge fan of blw. I guess everyone has something to say but no one does the research themselves. My son is 11 months old and loves his food :)
samantham111 I do feel like a lot of the negativity is from not doing the research and having a full understanding of the benefits.
Nice. Video .. Cute. Baby. And. Very. Good Mom. Too..
Pauline Medina how sweet of you! Thank you!
Miss. Laura. You. Are. Sweeter. Than. Me...
Did she cry because she likes it or because she don’t
Not sure. I'd have to watch it again! It's been awhile.
What is that red placemat you are using for her to eat off?! I love that it's mat is so big, I only ever see ones with small mats that hardly cover the table
EZPZ . There's a link in the description. We still use it at 16 months. Its great.
can i ask please, for broccolis and carrots etc are they 'supposed' to chew them off or just suck on them?
I love baby led weaning and highly recommend it but I'm not an expert on this. I would recommend researching it through trusted experts. There is a link to the book I used in the description.
Do you do this for just dinner and breakfast?
You can watch my what my 7 month old eats in a day. I do a combination of BLW and purees since she is low in weight.
Did she actually eat the celery or was she just chewing on it ?
Service dog life Raising_ollie she mostly just chewed on it and played with it.
Lmao come on!! Feed her with a spoon at this age!! All she is doing is playing with her food! Now by the age of one she will pitch a fit if you try and feed her!
@@avagreene3624 The point is for baby to feed herself.
Do you offer your child all types of food groups already at 6 months?
I'm always concerned about intolerances and am not sure how to start blw. My son is almost 6 months and seemed interested but when we gave him purees he ate it and then threw it up (pumpkin and potatos). :-(
So I was thinking blw would be better when he is more ready.
My pediatrician advised me on how to approach introducing different foods and allergens so I would check with your dr. We loved BLW. I highly recommend it but be sure to do your research. I linked the book I used. Good luck!
Thank you for the video! Does the baby seats already by herself at the start of blw?
So glad you liked it. I'm not sure what you are asking. Do you mean does she need to sit all by herself? She does. Be sure to research all about BLW before starting. There's a lot to learn but it is so worth it!!!
@@magicalmomlaura thank you! That is exactly what I meant
What were you using on your chair to have her sit with you guys at the table?
Andrea Elena Coba it’s the stokke Tripp trapp with the baby set. Link is in the description. I also have a video on it. I love that high chair.
My 7 months old would never take any purées 😪..will start babyled weaning ..she’s teething and puts everything in her mouth so hopefully that works😭
We loved BLW. It worked so wonderful for our daughter.
I’ve heard people say you shouldn’t feed them purée before you start BLW. Can you please give more details as you said she’d been fed purée before. My daughters turning 4 months soon and want to decide what we will be doing
My daughter didn’t like formula and was very low in weight percentile. She liked purées at 4 months and so we continued that. I switched to BLW and her weight went down because they don’t eat a lot at first with BLW. So I continued a combination of both. I spoke to my dr about it. I would just talk to your pediatrician to make sure! BLW was one of the best things we did!
@@magicalmomlaura heyya Laura. I’m thinking of doing a combo too. Can I know how did you do it at 6 months? Do you do feed purée at one meal and do BLW for the other meal or do both at one meal? Thanks in advance ! :)
@@leogal4eva It's been a long time! I think I did both as BLW was to help with feeding independence and purees were for calories! I did give her loaded spoons to feed herself so she was always in control of what she ate. She still is! I don't think there is any wrong way to do it just see what works for you. It's so great you are doing it! It's one of the best things i did for my daughter.
@@magicalmomlaura thanks for the reply Laura!
Do you cook the apple and carrots a little or are they raw?
Cassaundra St Jean yes. I steamed them! I followed the book that is linked in the description!
My baby is months, I've tried giving pureed food but shows no interest and spits it back out. Just seems happy with milk still. Does this mean she isnt ready yet?
Kay Star i don’t feel qualified to answer this. Check with your dr and check out the book I linked in the description!
I've read before when this happens just be patient and keep exposing her to the foos/environment.
So pretty 🥰
Thank you!!!
Warum hat die Mutter keine Karotte auf dem Teller 😂

Did u get scared to give cooked carrots or potato? I get nervous because it can break off easily in my baby’s mouth and afraid she would choke.
Yes! Absolutely all the time. You can watch my other BLW video I talk more about that. Educating yourself and taking a course and reading books will help though!
Okay. Thank you.
California Geisha I recently followed Feeding Littles on Instagram. They have an online course for BLW. I didn’t take it but I love the info they share on insta.
How about bananas? Did you try giving her bananas? I want to try this with my 6 month old but I’m a little scared.
The mom says that it seems that the infant is allergic to bananas.
Bananas are great first foods. We thought she was allergic so I held off on it for awhile until my dr said try again. Check out books and online courses to help if you are nervous with BLW!!!
I thought baby led weaning was when you skip purées all together and go straight for real food?
We did a mixture of both since we struggled with weight gain for the first 4 months. BLW they don’t get a lot of food/calories down at first.
Landon for a girl - LOVE IT. My baby girls name is Logan (4 months). How did you come up with the name?
Aw, Logan is adorable. I didn't even think of that! I wanted a strong name that started with an L.
We did London for our girl! Chickie power!
Where did you get this high chair??
I got it from Nordstroms but they also have it on Amazon: amzn.to/2Tb4p3r I love it! I did an unboxing and assembly video on it. czcams.com/video/WkwSdzLLwG4/video.html
People should do a research before starting this!
Yes, people should should read a book about it!
What high chair do you have?
Stokke Tripp Tapp. amzn.to/2TQ4wBD I love it! Check out the video on it: czcams.com/video/WkwSdzLLwG4/video.html
They cant eat whats in their fist. What ever sticks outside the fist is what they can go to town on! Cutie pie. Apple and harder items would be too scary for me. I thought the food needed to be mashable.
You can check out the book in the description. That's what they recommended but I know others do not recommend.
Don't put the baby close to the window it's cold she can get sick like that
Did she gag much in the beginning?
Yes, I hated it. Check out Part 2 of this video. I talk about the fear of it more.
Great video! Thank you. Also, you look a lot like Winona Ryder.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. I have gotten that my entire life. Especially when my hair is dark.
Btw no honey before 1
Thanks! I didn't even think about honey in the bread. I did my best to edit that part out and put a note in the description! I appreciate it.
It’s actually no honey before 1
@@StephFrederick why not? May as well do that to if you are gonna give them shit the size of their arm to eat.....with no damn teeth (or very few). So hell, May as well allow the baby to choose whatever they feel like eating....peanut butter, honey... whatver their heart's desire...
Lacey Kole Becasue honey can contain spores of a bacterium called clostridium botulinum which can germinate in a baby's immature digestive system and cause infant botulism. Peanut butter won’t make them sick unless they’re allergic which is possibly preventable the earlier it’s introduced I might add. Nor will the size of food do their insides any harm...
@@StephFrederick Pretty sure she was being sarcastic...
Couldn't do this be honest how many times has she actually gagged or choked
She never choked but she did gag quite a bit.
Babies have choked to death doing this !!! Bread?! Wtf omg
@@avagreene3624 Please provide a link to all the research on the choking you're describing.
She is adorable but please keep her back away from the window
Die Mutter müsste auch essen bekommen das sie nicht mag 😂 oder Sellerie Stange 😅

Idk, I don't think this makes any sense. They eat purees because they don't have teeth and it's easier for them to swallow while they learn all the basics of eating normally and using a spoon. As they get better at it and grow more teeth they re able to eat bigger chunk and more in unmashed foods because they now can chew it enough to swallow and actually eat it enough to feel full. What she's doing here is just sucking on it or biting pieces and spitting it out. Shes not getting anything in her tummy. I don't know why anybody would give a baby celerys neither, a 2 yr old can't even eat it, they just chew it and spit it out. a 6 mo old is only sucking on it. This just seems lazy and dangerous and frankly unbelievable. Who thought of this and why would anybody listen to them. People will do anything. Looks bad, is bad.
I just totally agree with you on this. I am absolutely stunned at this latest trend. As you mention, it makes no sense and she could NOT possibly be getting the nutrients she is needing. I am sure she did grab kind food ... She is HUNGRY. The fads these days are SO out of hand. I normally don't say much to parents...but damn. This and that damn "cup feeding"....whoever come up with these needs their was kicked.. and people need to really think this out better.
I got from doctor that this help them to get motor skills and less picky eaters. And as for nutrients they still get all they need from breastmilk or formula till 1 year old.
Do some research
Diana Rostran I did and it doesn't make any sense. They will learn everything they need to on their own. Why rush things that will happen naturally when their ready and to risk choking for it, really? They already grow up too fast. You can tell by looking at your baby that this is wrong. Your suppose to protect them not put them in unnecessary danger for pointless reasons. When their choking up a chunk of food and gagging and eye watering because it's uncomfortable and scary for them, just know it's you who are doing it to them.
@@lisawhitehead9477 there's actually no greater risk of choking if you do your research. And it makes total sense if you do it! Why spoon feed them and slow down their development. Does someone spoon feed you?? Food before 1 is just for fun anyways. They get the nutrition they need from formula because even with purees they aren't soaking up the nutrients until they are 1.
