I know because this was totally me.
When it was time to start introducing solids to our baby, I knew that Baby-Led Feeding (also commonly known as Baby-Led Weaning) was a method that I wanted to try because of all of the positive things that I had heard and read from books, webinars and fellow moms.
BUT the truth is, I had A LOT of questions and concerns about using this non-traditional feeding method and didn’t feel 100% confident getting started.
NONE of my friends and family members had used the baby-led feeding method when introducing solids to their babies. In fact, they looked at me like I was absolutely crazy when I told them that I wanted to give my baby whole foods right from the start of our feeding adventure.
Their response certainly didn’t boost my confidence.
In order to gain some further guidance, I purchased several of the popular Baby-Led Weaning books out there.
