For those who don't already know, Peanut and I have been having adventures in BLW. Baby Led Weaning skips the traditional purees and starts table food right away. It is great to have her involved in our meals and it is nice to be able to allow her to do solids at her own pace. She chooses how much she wants to eat and gets to experiment with different tastes and textures that she would not normally be exposed to at this age. So far we have done bread, sweet potatos, baked apples, carrots, peas, cantaloupe, honey dew, watermelon and pancakes.
Most people might wonder what inspired the pancakes. But we were out to breakfast and plain pancakes were the only thing that we had that would have worked and she is not happy if she is left out of meal time. It was amazing to watch as she grabbed a huge chunk of pancake and took bites out of it. I was so proud of her, she didn't even gag. Tomorrow we are going to try some whole wheat pasta and veggies so she can pick and choose.
