Baby Led Weaning

Thank you to my sister, Natasha, for introducing me to the book and concept of Baby Led Weaning. Baby led weaning is the method of how a baby will transition from drinking milk (breast or bottle feeding) to eating solid foods. The concept of the book is that a baby does not need infant cereal or mush to learn to eat. Instead, the baby plays and experiments with appropriate sized foods and eventually over time will learn by tasting and example of parents/guardians how to eat. There's more to the book and the details are important to starting for the safety and health of the baby.

I was inspired to attempt at teaching my son, Axel, how to eat and so far it has worked. Here are pictures of my son sucking on broccoli and apples.
