What the heck is baby led weaning

I was presented with this when my DGD was born. Be prepared to bite your lips, cross your fingers and pray! Basically the baby is presented with food they can pick up and eat themselves. No pureeing (sorry). So there may be pieces of cucumber, apple, green pepper or other things. The baby is given a number of different things and chooses what to pick up and eat. Surprisingly they do seem to manage and don't choke. But I still stood watching with my heart in my mouth! My DGD is now 6 and thrived on it. Good luck. I think we just have to accept things change.

A bit out of touch perhaps. Baby led weaning has been around for a few years now.

Just been told by DD that DGC will be weaned by using baby led weaning! What the heck is this. Was ready to purée her food etc - thinking I’m not going to get involved in this. DD can bring what she wants us to give her to eat. Am I being ridiculous and out of touch ?
