Here is a tutorial from Micha to you.
'How to eat an avocado'
This week we've started to feed Micha some solids and despite his grimaces on the photos
he actually LOVES it!!
He's been reaching for my food and water for a few weeks now, so we thought it was time to let him try it for himself.
After his first taste of avocado I gave him some steamed pureed pumpkin the next day
which he inhaled as well!
We really want to try the Rapley method/ Baby-led weaning, in which you give your baby whole pieces of fruit or vegetables (steamed or cooked until they're soft of course) instead of pureeing everything, and letting him feed himself. (Yay for messy floors...ha!)
But for a first taste pureed food is the way to go for us!
How did you start your baby on solids? Any tips for this new mommy?
Love, Maria
Hey Maria, baby led weaning is great! We did that too and are still doing it:)...With Emmi it was a bit complicated because she didn`t like the baby cereal feeding part ( it was nerveracking and took me some time to realize:)...) , so we had to find a method that worked for us. Baby led weaning was and is still perfect for her. It´s really much more relaxing (though it was a bit messy from time to time), but she started to eat independently on her own quite quickly and we enjoy our family meals together a lot. She still likes to be nursed in the mornings and evening but that`s ok. for us, we just follow her tempo...,hopefully we will have weaned her until school age, just kidding... but I realized now that I can explain a lot more to her she is more and more content by skipping her nursing meals step by step. xxxgreetings noni
ReplyDeleteHi Noni!
DeleteThat sounds perfect! That's what I hope will work for us too! I'm definitely not ready to stop nursing him either! We'll just go with what he wants!
xoxo Maria
