While for years, we were advised to start with vegetables; The latest recommendations on diversification indicate " that there is no order or rhythm of introduction of food ". Each child is different and will adapt to the food proposed according to their capacities.
This simplifies the daily life of parents and allows you to let go of all your contradictory information!
What can I offer in the first place?
- Batlets of melting cooked vegetables (carrot, zucchini, sweet potato, etc.)
- Ripe raw pear
- Banana
- Broccol
- Orange supremes
What quantity?
It should not be forgotten that BLW is a step oriented on food discovery independently. We do not weigh food, we simply take care to offer everything and for the rest, we leave baby to orient ourselves towards what he needs and in the quantities necessary for his organism.
The first weeks , we offer small amounts to baby: this will allow you to avoid unnecessary waste. Also remember to freeze! It's always practical when you lack time.
At first, baby will observe, touch and try to bring food to his mouth. You may have the impression that he plays more than he eats. But do not bother, between 6 and 8 months the milk covers more than 80% of its energy needs . So, even if baby eats little, even almost nothing, his energy needs will be covered.
