I've had six babies and now I finally have one that begs to eat the food that I'm eating. She gets excited to try something new. She asks to try something new off my plate and if I don't notice or give her some to try she gets upset or sad. Can you imagine that? I think it's all because of
Baby-Led Weaning too. I wish I had known about this with the other babies. I was happy to make my own baby food with the last two babies, because it was saving money and I knew what was in the food. But, had I known how easy and safe it was to actually feed them from my plate, I would have done that. Last week I was eating some hot cereal and I put a little bit in a small cup to cool for her to try. She went crazy over it and kept asking for more. When she finished what I had put aside for her, she got upset when I tried to put more in the fridge to cool down. She didn't want to wait for it! Turned out it was cool enough to not put in the fridge.
Day one of hot cereal. I've been pre-loading spoons for her and she is learning how to use them. She's getting better.
Oh, that's good! She needed a bath when she was done. She had it all over her and in her hair and it wasn't coming out when I tried to wipe her up.
Day two of hot cereal. This time she had footed pj's on, so clean up was much easier! Not so much in the hair either.
Signing for more.
Oh so happy about the hot cereal!
Oh so sad that she finished it!
Baby-led weaning is so worth it! I highly recommend it!
