Baby-led weaning

Baby-led weaning (often also referred to as BLW) is an approach to adding complementary foods to a baby's diet of breast milk or formula. BLW facilitates oral motor development and strongly focuses on the family meal, while maintaining eating as a positive, interactive experience.[1] Baby-led weaning allows babies to control their solid food consumption by "self-feeding" from the start of their experience with food.
