Baby Led Solids
Baby led solids (or baby led weaning) refers to the practice of not giving babies pureed foods, and giving them regular foods so that they can decide how much they want to eat.
This is important because babies are born knowing exactly how much food their bodies need for survival, and then adults interfere and that instinct goes away. (Then...we eat emotionally, for fun, etc.). Many parents worry about choking, but if done properly, this is not a big problem.
