Put down the spoon and forget the purées — baby-led weaning is the easy, natural way for your baby to start solid foods. Around 6 months, most babies are developmentally ready to self-feed. The philosophy behind baby-led weaning is to offer your baby healthy finger foods and let her determine how much or how little she wants to eat. The baby-led method has been proven to:
Encourage healthy eating habits
Discourage pickiness
Help children learn to listen to their bodies
Build confident eaters.
