Strict BLW skips puree foods and starts baby on finger foods that the rest of the family is eating. In this method, baby is in control of the feeding process; the pace of the meal and learning their own fullness cues.  This approach encourages baby to be independent and consume the quantity they choose. Here are a few ideas to think about, as you get started: In the beginning, start off slow, by only offering one food at a time. Then offer 3 different foods at a meal (instead of just a bowl of cereal or a bowl of mac & cheese). Avoid giving more than 5 foods (too many choices can be overwhelming for a new or hesitant eater)To learn more about the different BLW and other feeding tips, check out our blog: Baby Led Weaning.
