The carrier and the pre -filled spoon

What is a carrier?

When you start the BLW , there is a word that you will hear about all the time: it is the carrier. But what is it?

A carrier is a food that will serve as a support . Especially for more or less smooth textures or difficult textures (which baby will be difficult to catch).

There are carriers that you can buy directly in stores like:

  • Crunchy tartine type flower bread (the chestnut is perfect to start because much more tender in the mouth)
  • A rice cake

But you can also make several carriers yourself such as:

  • Cooked vegetable sticks: baby can dip them in a yogurt sauce, a houmous,…
  • Blinis
  • Pancakes
  • Pancakes
  • Pieces of fruit cut and rolled in coconut powder, almonds,…

The carrier will serve as a support and will allow baby to be able to discover foods that he would not have had the opportunity to eat independently.

You can dip or spread out on your carriers:

The pre -filled spoon

The pre -filled spoon is another term often used in BLW . As its name suggests, it is a spoon that will be pre -filled with a more or less smooth texture . Baby will be able to catch the spoons and bring them alone to his mouth.

You can use your spoon to allow baby to eat compotes, yogurts, etc.

We invite you to go to the article: the essentials in BLW to find the pre -filled spoons that we recommend.

Private carriers and spoons are techniques fairly well used during the first months of diversification led by baby. This allows him to develop his autonomy while discovering foods that would not be possible for him to eat normally.

During the first tests, do not be surprised if baby spreads more smooth texture on his face than in his mouth. Viewing the mouth is not something easy and baby is in full learning!

Having started purees at 4 months and wanting to start BLW from 6 months is quite possible. Or you are wondering how breast / infantile milk and BLW combined.
