Summary

In this lesson, Kat and Sian break down the two main methods for introducing solids: purees and baby-led weaning (BLW). They explain the concept of responsive feeding, which focuses on listening to your baby’s hunger and fullness cues. Both approaches can be done safely, with tips on food texture, size, and shape to minimise choking risks. They also discuss the importance of iron-rich foods and offer guidance on how to mix purees and finger foods for optimal nutrition. Ultimately, it’s about letting your baby explore solids at their own pace while ensuring safety and variety in their diet.
