Hello everybody!
I wanted to try BLW when my baby was 6 months old, but it got somehow complicated...I experimented with pieces of potatoes and carrots at the beginning, it was quite messy but never thought it could be dangerous...Then another person in the family offered my baby a piece of carrot in my absence and apparently he chocked so badly, everybody in the house panicked. I was not there to see what exactly has happened, but I got reluctant and decided to start spoonfeeding him instead. I do give him pieces of fruits of vegetables, but I use a special type of dummy that comes with a net, the piece goes inside and baby can suck but cannot cut a piece out. Now he's 7 months old and would like to try finger foods again, but I'm still a little bit nervous. I tried banana yesterday, but I got the impression he's taking quite big pieces in his mouth and he even made some chocking noises once or twice so I dropped it again. Anybody with similar experience? Any mum can advice on how to go on from here?
Thanks!!!
