I have to admit that this was much for fun than mommy shoving mashed avocados in Nicolette's mouth and as you can see from the pictures below she liked this a lot better too! :) It was so much fun to watch her figure it out!

Avocados: Take Two
So today I decided to try our Avocado Baby Led Weaning style. For those not familiar...Baby Led Weaning is where you let your child feed themselves right from the get-go...no purees, no mashing, no blenders, food processors or fancy baby food makers necessary. You make sure that food is a suitable size and watch them have fun with it. (You can read more about Baby Led Weaning HERE).

Just saw the link to your blog on FB! This is so fun! I really want to try BLW with Maggie once we hit this age. Nicolette seems to be enjoying it :)
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend it!!! This was much more fun than the spoon feeding. I thought I would like the spoon feeding because then I was still feeding her, but it was actually much more fun watching her play around with the food and put it in her mouth herself!!! We'll try sweet potatoes later this week :)
DeleteSo cute! I have to remember to get avocados at the store. Olivia and I have compromised....she gets to hold a saltine cracker and try to eat it while I sneak in small bites of baby food on a spoon. She really likes holding the cracker and feeding herself. Or maybe she is just telling me that the baby food needs a bit of salt?!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely pick up an avocado!!! I just sliced out a little wedge so that I didn't cut open the whole thing. She played around with 3 slices...God only knows how much actually wound up in her little tummy! :) And that's my kind of girl...I likes me some salt! :)
DeleteOh my, how cute! I love watching them figure out new things! I thought we would go the BLW route, but this momma is so paranoid! We are still using whole/organic foods, but I'm mashing feeding them to her. Maybe I'll try a little both this weekend. :)
