#5: Can you combine purees with baby-led weaning? Yes, indeed - but the important thing is to let your baby self-feed even from her first bites. If jumping right in to offering solid foods to your baby sounds scary, you are going to like my “Purees for a Few Days” approach to baby-led weaning.    In this episode I will teach you how to transition your baby from a liquid only diet to one that includes a variety of pureed foods as well as other soft, solid textured food. I’ll explain how you can honor the principles and self-feeding philosophy of baby-led weaning by offering your baby a pre-loaded spoon and teaching your baby how to self-feed by spoon.    Purees are an important texture for your baby to master...they’re just not the ONLY texture babies can eat. Listen to learn how to try new textures quickly and safely during the first few days of baby-led weaning. And if you’re trying to help an older baby switch from purees, the tips in this episode will help you too. It is not too late to start baby-led weaning!   If you’re ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating then let’s get started learning about baby-led weaning together!
