There will always be those that love to judge. It makes them feel better about their own failings

This is amazing! I wish my 7 month old was this keen. I think baby led weaning is our next step. He refuses to eat puree food but has loved chunks of fruit, and well cooked steak to suck on!

It’s working for them, not any ones else’s business

As long as its working for them. I don’t follow that bwl way.

I support this mum.
Every child is different and every parenting style is different.
My children are polar opposites when it comes to food intake and feeding themselves.

I didn’t but good on her. That’s impressive.

Everyone has their own ways and different generations are always trying something new – if it works for you, then so be it.

If she’s hungry then feed her. Nature knows best.

If I had known about child lead weaning I probably would have tried it. It seems so much easier and makes sense.

It looks like she loves feeding herself. If my children ate that well when they were young I would have been proud.

No problem my daughters is the same always ate everything we do and like a adult, shes a healthy weight and size.

My son used to eat as much as a grown man 3 times a day, have endless snacks and a full bottle of milk right after each meal. He even went so far as to eat till he was sick and then eat some more. He was so hungry that formula and purée weren’t enough to fill him, so I was told to put him on purée at 3 months old.

My boy had excessive growth and at seven months old was the size of a one year old. He literally doubled in size each year for four years. Excessive growth meant a huge appetite. Good on her for doing things her own way.

Good on this mum for standing up for herself and now she’s parenting her child.

It’s no one else’s business anyway!! Really dislike people on social media who comment like this one did and say it’s too much food and it’s frustrating so feed the baby – go away if you don’t agree! It’s not ur child. Don’t agree then move on. And don’t comment and don’t assume. Does my head in why people choose to comment when they r strangers and don’t know nothing!

Well done this mum. Do what you feel and know is right for ur bub.

And yes ive done BLW – it’s great for introducing new foods, motor skills, sensory skills and with my kids has made them wider eaters as they get older.

But each time their own. And stop judging others! We’re all doing our best for our kids. If u don’t agree that’s ok – but no need to make comments and carry on. Geez.
Parenting is hard enough without social media judging/commenting/knowing nothing.

Each to their own and live and let live. Simple concepts!

He’s only 8 months old. Back off people!

I feel that babies stop eating when they are full. There is no way that baby could physically put all that food in her tummy but she may enjoy trying different bits of food, taking a bite then trying something else. People need to let each parent do as they please & realise there usually isnt a “right” & “wrong” way

I never heard of this before and I don’t know of anyone else who’s heard of it either. I love that this Mum doesn’t take offence or get upset if people don’t agree with her methods too.

I hadn’t heard of it when my babies were little although my nephews and friends babies have all done it recently and seems to work.

No I didn’t and my kids are happy eater now.

No, I didn’t. But I do understand she’s giving her baby options to eat what she wants and as much as she wants.

Well done, Mum and bub! I do baby led weaning, but have the opposite- he will not eat much at all (except for pasta, but who doesn’t devour that?) but he will eat when he wants.
