Its the process of adding complementary foods to your babys diet of breastmilk or formula by allowing them to do the leading, with your guidance. Experts say babies who start solids at an early age may develop a more sophisticated palate and be more likely to eat a wider variety of healthy foods when theyre older.When to start BLW? Is baby almost six-months-old? Is baby starting to sit up on their own and able to grab and hold onto objects? If so, it might be time to discuss BLW with your pediatrician. BLW-friendly foods are soft and gentle on babys gums and easier to swallow. All foods should be mashed or cut into small, easy-to-swallow pieces for safe eating. As your baby works toward learning to eat through self-feeding, its likely they will freely experiment with foods you offer and the dishware you serve on.
