BABY LED WEANING (BLW)

by Bubs Playground

Baby Led Weaning (BLW) is a way of introducing solid foods that allows BUBS to feed themselves!

Benefits of BLW:

  • allows BUBS to explore and experiment with food, which could lead to a less fussy eater later on!
  • encourages BUBS to self feed and develop hand, eye and mouth coordination!
  • ability to feed BUBS a variety of foods that we eat everyday rather than make food especially for BUBS, which means time and cost savings!
  • BUBS learns how to chew, yes even without any teeth!

Tips for BLW:

  • Have a highchair with tray so that BUBS has a stable and consistent eating environment and habits, such as the IKEA Antilop Highchair with our silicone placemats! Looks good and is easy to clean!
  • For meals place BUBS food on our hygienic and hypoallergenic silicone placemats or use our silicone suction plate so that BUBS can't knock it off the highchair! Our silicone suction plates works with our placemats and most surfaces, a must have to minimise mess and cleaning time!
  • BLW can be messy so always have BUBS in a bib! Our silicone bibs are waterproof, lightweight with adjustable neck and easy to clean!
  • Our silicone spoon & fork utensils sized especially for BUBS helps develop hand, eye & mouth coordination and independence!
