So would we then not feed him with a spoon, but just...smear it on his high-chair and let him go for it? I really like this idea and the idea of baby-led weaning, but I just haven't read the book so I don't know how to do it, ha ha. Then once he's a little older (and has teeth!) then give it to him in it's original (albeit stick) form?Caitlin Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442473825782805158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792520621180872664.post-54678870867508422542011-07-20T09:30:18.710-07:002011-07-20T09:30:18.710-07:00Sorry, we DIDN'T!

I also like the encouragement to explore your food tangibly. But, I disagree that you must always wait until 6 months, or that you can't spoon feed. Some kids are interested and ready before 6 months and others not until later. And you can spoon feed a baby without shoving food down their throats or creating unhealthy attitudes toward food. But that's just my personal experience: 3 babies, spoon-fed and allowed to self feed, started when they showed interest (one at 4 months, one at 5.5, one at 7.5), same foods we ate, homemade baby food and store bought, turned into 3 healthy non-picky eaters that love a variety of foods and still try new things (yes, even my stubborn 4 year old). I fully intend to do the same with my youngest.<br />I like most of the ideas you listed though and I'm glad it's working well for you. That is one of my favorite stages of babyhood.Desiree Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04488088768008838522noreply@blogger.com
