Baby-Led Weaning
Your baby has the ability to feed themselves. Providing the opportunity for this innate behavior to flourish can build a foundation for a lifelong healthy relationship with food.
​
Baby Led Weaning (BLW) is a feeding technique that supports babies learning to eat by feeding themselves using whole foods. Using BLW you can create a positive environment around mealtime, encourage your child's development of their fine motor skills and expose them to a variety of foods and textures. Mealtime is family-friendly and you are able to enjoy your food along with your child, giving them the confidence to eat on their own.
