Jack has a super anxious mom. So we did not do baby-led-weaning (even though it is the popular trend these days)

I decided to go with the purée method, because it worked better for me. I didn’t have to worry about Jack choking, and I knew that he was still receiving all of the nutrition that he needed to grow.

*for the record: I fully support moms in their endeavours to BLW- it was just not something I felt comfortable with*

I bought a magic bullet and Jack always ate what we ate. It worked so well that I probably puréed his food longer than I should have. Now we have issues with texture.

We have transitioned away from purées, and Jack loves to feed himself, but we are a bit picky about the textures of some foods. And if you put something weird feeling in his mouth, you best prepare for it’s reappearance. He will spit it across the room.

We are working away at self feeding and getting much better at it. But I always wonder what I would do differently. Would I BLW with my next baby? Probably not. But I think I would introduce texture sooner- and see if I could avoid food facials.
