11. How do I introduce my baby to baby-led weaning?
Baby-led weaning may start around six months. It is when your baby can grasp food and bring it to their mouth. The aim is to let your baby choose various food options and feed them by themselves. Seat your baby on a high chair facing a table so that the hands and arms can move freely. Offer soft sticks and pieces of food such as cooked vegetables, soft foods including banana or avocado, and pasta.
12. What foods should weaning babies avoid?
Avoid food items that require chewing or that can be a choking hazard. They include hot dogs and meat sticks; nuts and seeds; chunks of meat, cheese, fruits, or peanut butter; whole grapes; popcorn; raw vegetables; and processed foods.
