Recently Jackson started solid foods and I wanted to share our journey with other parents who are looking to do a combined feeding approach.
There is so much information out there about starting solids, it was honestly quite overwhelming and confusing when we first started. Anyway, I decided to share our experience and here you can follow our journey.
How it all started
When Jackson was around 4-5 months old, he was showing a lot of interest in what we were eating, and everything that he was able to get his hands on ended up in his mouth.
I liked the idea of my little one feeding himself independently, so I was more interested in BLW. However, it is very important to wait until 6 months (as well as other factors) before starting that approach, so instead I gave him purées first. Jackson was 5 months old.
Not long after, Jackson was grabbing at the spoon and guiding it into his own mouth. He was finally 6 months old, and I wanted to introduce finger foods but also continue giving him purées, so I thought, why not both?
