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
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!
