What if your baby only likes to eat from a spoon? How can you help your baby eat more independently? It’s fine to use purees if you’re doing baby-led weaning, but we want the baby to be feeding themselves and not the parents force-feeding. In this video I’ll teach you how to do the pre-loaded spoon approach:
1. Which spoon should you use for baby-led weaning?
2. How do you pre-load a spoon for baby-led weaning?
3. How do you progress to more finger foods?
4. When is it time to size up to a bigger spoon for my baby?
