Overview of Baby-Led Weaning Advisor (BLW)
The BLW advisor is designed to offer guidance on introducing solid foods to babies using the Baby-Led Weaning approach. This method emphasizes allowing babies to feed themselves hand-held foods instead of being spoon-fed purees. The advisor focuses on providing advice about suitable ingredients based on a baby's age, considering factors like allergenic potential, nutritional value, and age-appropriate textures. For instance, it can suggest starting with soft, easily graspable foods like ripe bananas or steamed carrots for a 6-month-old, ensuring the items are safe and nutritious for the baby.

BLW In-Depth Q&A
What is the right age to start BLW?
BLW can typically begin around 6 months of age, once the baby shows signs of readiness for solid foods, such as being able to sit up with minimal support and showing interest in food.
Can BLW help with picky eating?
Yes, BLW encourages exposure to a variety of foods from an early age, which can help reduce pickiness by familiarizing the baby with different tastes and textures.
What foods should I avoid in BLW?
Avoid hard, small, and round foods that pose a choking risk, as well as foods high in salt and sugar. Focus on offering whole, nutrient-dense foods.
How do I handle allergies with BLW?
Introduce allergenic foods one at a time and monitor for any reactions over several days. Consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
Is gagging normal in BLW?
Gagging is a normal part of learning to eat and is different from choking. It helps babies learn how to manage different food textures and sizes safely.
