Baby led weaning? Share your journey please and help me with advice
I think I am pretty late to BLW. My daughter will be 11 months old. We have just started our BLW journey. Prior to this she has been on 3 meals a day, but spoon fed / pureed / mashed up meals. I have now transitioned to BLW. She can eat by herself and chew, but she’s very slow and never finishes her meal. (If it was mashed up or pureed and fed to her she would finish it though). Dinner example, 6 pieces of penne pasta, she’s eaten 2. What to do when baby isn’t finishing their meals? I’m worried she will lose weight. She is having 3 bottles of formula a day too FYI. Any tips, advice pls desperate mum here.

Can you take her to get weighed? Will give you confidence she’s gaining weight still in her own way
@Roxy that is a good idea, but it’s crazy once she’s done with feeding herself, if I then try and feed her the food she doesn’t want it x
@Liz you’re absolutely right, I will take her to get weighed as soon as possible. Thank you

She could be getting used to doing it herself and used to chewing the food more! It took my boy a couple of months to get the hang of it! Could you give her a few pieces to eat herself and mash the rest up? And then gradually do more of her feeding herself? Xx
