Finger Foods & Baby-Led Weaning
Self-feeding, BLW, and family meals
Baby-Led Weaning
Baby-led weaning allows babies to self-feed appropriate foods from the start. Instead of being spoon-fed purees, babies explore foods independently. Many families enjoy shared family meals, self-feeding practice, exploring textures, and greater independence.
Always follow safe feeding practices and supervise meals closely.

Family meals
Family meals support language development, social skills, healthy habits, and family connection. Even young babies benefit from being included. Meals do not need to be perfect — conversation and connection are often more important than perfect eating.
