We decided to try Baby Led Weaning (BLW) with Leila as her introduction to solids. This means that we give her the food that we are eating in chip-shaped pieces so that she learns to chew then swallow, rather than the other way around with purees. We think this will be fun (we know it will be messy!) and we hope that it will mean we eat well, and that she eats well and enjoys food.
Leila's first food was sweet potato. The first time we gave it to her she mashed it in her fist and then licked it from her hands, but the second time she stuck the sticks in her mouth a bit more and attempted some biting and chewing. We're not sure if she likes it (!) she just seemed amazed to taste a taste on her tongue!
