Bronwen and Thierno’s second Oscar, was exclusively breastfed for six months before they
introduced baby-led weaning (BLW) into their lives.
Uncertain how Oscar would cope they were amazed by the rapid development in
dexterity and social skills which he showed in just a few weeks.
Since BLW exploded onto the parenting scene, many parents and healthcare professionals have
embraced it as the most natural and logical way to introduce solid foods. However, not
everyone has heard of it, or understands how easy weaning can be using this approach.
BLW is more convenient, nutritious and cost-effective than using purees. It provides a gentle
transition, allowing your baby to eat as much as he wants, at his own pace.
This film follows Oscar through his first six months of solid foods, identifying the key features
and progression of BLW both within and outside the home.
Oscar's taste knows no bounds as he demonstrates with ease his ability to eat fruit and
vegetables as well as of chunks of meat. But its not just to do with eating; sharing family
mealtimes boosts a child's independence and develops their hand-eye coordination and
chewing.
Don’t allow your baby to miss out - time to throw away those jars!
