I did baby led weaning. Not by choice as such. My daughter just wasn’t interested in being spoon fed AT ALL! I just assumed she wasn’t ready, but I ended up giving her something (think it was a bit of my toast) and she practically demolished it. I soon realised that the independent little ‘madem’ just wanted to do it herself. She never had soup but would let her try small amounts of spag bol etc to try when we ate. She never got as messy as Larose (it gave me anxiety to be honest) but she was always happy to get her hands in and shovel in her mouth. She definitely didn’t have portions as large as BYG gives to BYG#2 though!
I also never gave her a full bowl. Would just give her a spoonful at a time to pick up from her plate. I agree all babies are different and certainly parenting styles differ, but BYG is not helping those mum’s that she is ‘influencing’. I have seen a number of comments asking her for advice because their babies don’t do X, Y, Z. I always go to my mum for advice or at least discuss with friends. I’ve mentioned before that we always discuss things about our children but we pick and choose what works for our own/ourselves.
