We started our girl on purées at six months and she loved them. Well, she’s eight months now and ever since I started offering finger foods a few weeks ago, she has decided that she will no longer be spoon fed. This girl wants to do it herself. So it looks like we’re going to do full baby led weaning at this point. I have the solid starts app and it’s been so helpful but I have a few questions for mamas that are good at this!

1-Can I offer her a multi ingredient “meal” if she has never had any of the ingredients before? Or am I still supposed to offer each ingredient individually first for allergy purposes? Ex. Pasta with marinara and ground beef

2-I know salt is a no no but it’s in everything we make so can she have things that are seasoned? I know people say that baby eats what we eat but can she have things like salt, pepper, taco seasoning, garlic, etc…?

3- Is it still considered a meal for her if the majority of it is on the ground rather than in her mouth? Like she barely gets a few bites. This girl has absolutely loved all of the real food we have offered but she also loves to drop things from her high chair just so she can watch them fall ��

1) I only introduce 1 allergen at a time, but non-allergens I’ll introduce several at once.

2) Our baby loves seasonings, even sriracha �� go for it!

3) The whole purpose of baby-led weaning is that it’s baby-led (no force-feeding with the spoon, baby is in control of what they eat and how much). It’s absolutely a meal anytime you sit down together with food to eat, regardless of how much makes it into baby’s tummy.

If you haven’t already downloaded the Solid Starts app, I highly recommend it! Have fun!!
