Baby-led weaning is a method where baby is encouraged to feed themselves, right from the beginning.
When choosing baby-led weaning (BLW), parents can sometimes feel overwhelmed as it throws up questions of safety and not only what to feed their curious baby but how to. With BLW it's best to go with soft, easy-to-squash foods in thick finger-size pieces, this way it's easy to hold and has a low choking risk. For Aisha's Award-winning nutritionist Priya Tew advises; "Keep finger foods mushy and soft until you are sure they can manage, and never leave your little one unattended whilst eating. A little tip - cut up grapes and tomatoes into quarters. Remove the skins and pips."
