Answers all the 'whys' and 'hows' when it comes to baby-led weaning. Baby-led weaning means starting your baby on real table food from the start (at approximately 6 months old depending on your baby) and skipping the puree stage completely. This means offering baby a selection of nutritious finger foods so they feel like they're joining in on family meals. Baby weaning is popular with second and third children, because they're so keen to mimic their older siblings. Baby-led weaning supports baby's motor development skills at an earlier rate, it can lead to healthier eating habits and weights and very often finger foods can be more nutritious than purees. And the whole process is just so much easier and fun for parents and baby alike!
