Baby Led Weaning

June 23rd, 2010 by Justin Leave a reply »

One of the things my wife decided on very early is that we’d go with Baby Led Weaning to get our daughter on solid foods.

And boy howdy is this fun!

Since we started this she’s had: tomato, pork ribs (I’m not kidding, that was like the 3rd thing she ever ‘ate’), watermelon, honey dew melon, nectarines (she loved those), a beef and spinach lasagna (mega love), cucumber, baked chicken marinated in teriyaki sauce (huge hit!), pineapple, broccoli, avocado, asparagus, yogurt, hummus on toast, and tonight a pickle.

I did the pickle as an experiment. While at work today a coworker told a story of his son grabbing for some very spicy food one night, taking a taste, and screaming in pain. Another guy piped up that he’d imagine a baby wouldn’t like a pickle either. So I tried it out.

She liked it! A lot!
