I love the progression of Jackson just casually getting food to being in a hazmat suit with his bowl stuck to the high chair 😂

So excited for this topic! Thanks for suggesting reading resources and having a convo about this. ❤️ I love your videos!

This was super helpful and encouraging. I'm about to start with my 6 month old and I also struggle with anxiety and intimidation with preparing the food and getting creative. It' nice to know it's not just me.

Yay! These cute little videos make my morning

I’m so glad you’re sharing the baby self feeding journey, my baby boy just finished week 1 too!😋

why is this the cutest thing I've ever seen?! I don't have kids but for some reason I found watching Jackson eat so cute and entertaining haha. Also the advice you gave and tips about baby-led weaning really made me think about my approach for any future kids I have! :) xx

I’m SUPER ANXIOUS- and I feel like I have been denying my 8-1/2 month old e ability to eat more solid foods because of my anxiety. Thank you for these videos- a because I really need this. Feeding baby has been the toughest part of parenting for me.

Great work mama. Keep it up. I keep on looking at the number of subscribers. Let's get Kayla to 100k fast please guys. She deserves it

Have you noticed a difference in Jackson’s sleep since starting BLW? We had been doing purées with my daughter to start (still do them some times also) & I didn’t notice a difference. But now that we’re doing BLW, I feel like she’s been sleeping so much better!! *KNOCK ON WOOD🤞🏻*

Your son is adorable. I enjoyed watching the progression of him using that spoon. He’s really into it

Thank you so much for this! I am in the exact same position-- I didn't do baby led weaning with my 2 and a half year old because I was scared, but now getting her to try anything new is such a struggle. I'm determined to do so with my 5 month old soon. I cant wait to follow along with Jackon's eating journey! :)

Baby Jackson is so adorable ❤️ This video is so happy and satisfying, it literally just made my day 🥰 I'm still following your awesome videos, lady

LOVE THIS. please keep this coming!!!

I did combo feeding with my toddler and she is not super picky so I am definitely a big believer in BLW and combo feeding! These are great resources to keep in mind for when baby # 2 comes along. Jackson is doing so well!💙

Wow I’m so happy you started Jackson is going to be a good eater from what I’m seeing thank you so much for this video ❤️

Hi Kayla! I did baby led weaning with my son starting at 6 months, it was fun and really simple and there is no pressure because its just having fun because most of the nutrition is still from formula and/or breast milk. We waited a while to introduce utensils so when we did he didn't understand it because he was so used to using his hand. It is also good to wait so they can fine tune their pincer grasp. I just started this past weekend with my second baby, my daughter who just turned six months. We gave sweet potatoes that were roasted. She had fun grabbing, but I noticed that she isn't just ready because she still has the tongue thrust reflex, also she isn't sitting up as good as Jackson yet. Maybe in another week it will go away and she will be sitting up better.

Your just an amazing vlogger love that all your videos up to date are so real and helpful

Best video I’ve seen on the subject. I’m very anxious about BLW and this video helped ease my mind. I now feel more confident about starting this journey.

So cute omg I laughed so many times at how cute he is with that slippery avocado and then the spoon and the banana purée. Too cute

I'm feel better knowing I'm not the only one nervous to start solids. I just bought the book on your link! Thank you!

Hello I’m new to your channel! Just wanted to say thank you for talking about your anxiety with baby led weaning, I deal with with that also and glad to hear I’m not alone. My son is 6 months old and he is my first child so this is all new to me and I have started my baby led weaning journey with him. Thanks for all the information and tips!!

Love you guys so much xxx Kayla, Jackson, Riley and Joel

I love this! My girl is 10 days younger than Jackson and we started a week or so ago. It’s so fun😍

YOUR SON IS SUCH A CUTIE!!! 😍❤️

So cute!! I would actually recommend giving your baby new foods every 2-3 days because it’ll give time for the digestive system to catch up with the changes and it gives you time to see if baby has any reactions or allergies to anything you’re feeding them! ☺️

The oatmeal cereal part was my fav he’s so adorable

He is so cute! Very helpful for any parent who is starting BLW

omg so cute!!!!! Love watching your videos!

Baby led weaning is a lot easier when you offer what the adults are eating, just cut appropriately of course. We’ve been doing BLW since six months (now eight months old) and he eats EVERYTHING we eat. We just watch his salt intake, no whole nuts, and no honey.

He’s just the cutest!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Though it sucks to feel all the feels lol, it’s good to hear that other mommas get anxious too cause man it’s scary and we love Our babies so much! But Be proud that the fear has not stopped you! Great job momma!

Love love love this video! Thank you so much x

I was SO happy when I found these very same books (and others) at my local library!!! Tfs!

Jackson’s facial expressions were hilarious!

Adorable , I can't wait for my little guy to be able to hold stuff in his hands 😁 he's almost there

We used to put shower curtains on the floor under the high chair. My son could still fling food beyond it! Love the video...little dude is adorable!

Honestly the most realistic video I have seen on baby led weaning. All those moms kept showing fotage of how the babies start right eating when the food was placed on the tray. This is not how it goes. I have spent hours sitting with my 1 year old so that he picks something from the tray. They done just start eating right away. It’s a lengthy process. Thank you for the boost. Now i am some what relaxed that my baby will eat by himself too inshallah with time.

Yessss it's Kayla 💜💜💜💜💜

Good job Jackson!! My little guy will be two years old next month and we started baby led weaning around 6 months old and now he eats everything!!! They do have a great gag reflex and know what to do :)

Thank you for the advice I’m dealing with the anxiety she just turned one.

This was so cute! Baby Jackson is doing so good. My son is 10 days younger and we just starting baby led feeding! I always look forward to watching your videos ❤️

I'm glad that even though you were anxious and intimidated, you still make it through. My cousin fed her baby once and the baby gagged and she never fed him again. Last time I saw her child he was already 5 and still not eating solids.

I was just thinking about getting one of those vacuums right before watching this lol now I know which one to get. Thank you

Don’t have any kids yet but this is fascinating!

Love this!! I started about 3 weeks ago, combination of pures and blw but its sooo scary!! My baby just bites chuncks off. But this video made me realize that its normal and he will eventually need to learn how to eat, so thank u!

Hapa Family has a great BLW series!!

We are the exact same. I have a 2.5 year old who I did purées with and he’s so picky. Now I have a 7 month old who I’m doing blw and Ferber method sleep training with 😍

I love this! We have babies the same age and I get looks when I give her things like this. It’s so good for them for so many different reasons including it helps with future allergies in some babies! I’m still nervous too I just have to trust that she’ll tell me if she needs me and I just watch her get it everywhere 😂

THANK YOU for this video! My son is about a month younger than Jackson and we are also doing a combo or BLW and purées. OMG the faces he makes are identical to my son’s!

God I can't wait!!! My baby is 3 months old

Gosh, he is so cute! Watching him eat the banana puree was hilarious. I'm so excited to wean my 4 month old in a couple of months! Very anxious about choking though.

I'm so proud of you! And Jackson. BWL is fun and terrifying. I find I get nervous and stick to things I know my girl has done well with for a week and then try something new again when my nerves have eased a little haha. Jackson is just so cute feeding himself, where has the time gone it feels like he was born yesterday he has grown so much.

Wow! What a great video! Thank you

He is so cute! We recently started BLW with our little guy too and it’s been so much fun!! Just a tip about BLW: your baby isn’t supposed to be strapped in it n their shoulders just Incase they do happen to choke! Have fun with this mama! ❤️

It's really interesting! My little man is almost 2 months old and I'm going to read about led weaning for sure! Thank you!

I love this Kayla!!! We are doing BLW and hoping to film about our experiencing as well!

Loved your video very helpful

Yeesssssss!!! My baby is 5 months and I am so interested in blw but it is overwhelming.

I love the clips of Jackson eating at the end so much! My baby just turned 5 months and I'm hoping to do BLW with her too!

Good job Mom! ♥️

I was cpr certified last year for my job. Now that my 6 month old is doing BLW, I watched some refresher cpr video on YT. Still nervous but feel more prepared.

I just introduced solids to my guy 2 days ago. Even though I've read the blw book and have taken cpr courses I just cant help but mash up his avocado! I give him the spoon to feed himself but I can't get over the anxiety. I want to try a combo as well. I hope I get up the courage soon! I have a 5 year old that we did cerals then purees and she is THE pickiest eater of all time. I want to try something different for the baby but it's scary! You're doing an awesome job!

Interesting new video I got inspired to do more baby lead weaning with my baby this time 😀 Im curious do you toast your flax seed before you put it on the avocado?

Great work mama!! I chickened out with my first when we started, but I’m gonna try hard with my 5 mo I’m gonna be picking up some bumpkin! I really want their hello kitty print lol

Add to cart everything I see here lol thank you!

Jackson’s face to banana is the same as my little dude. He finally started eating some banana purée, but that one took a while. I just bought some carrots and sweet potatoes this week to try boiling and giving my son to start eating some strips of food! 😀

I’m blw ready for next month !

Thanks for posting this! I want to start baby led weaning with my almost 7 month old but have been terrified

The avocado was cracking me up!!

Thanks for sharing this! My baby is almost 4 months and I’m stressed trying to figure out if we should do purées , blw or a combo of both 😩

What's funny is i paused the video to answer the door and it was my package of those same plates 😂...i have those spoons too!

Waaaw he’s doing very well, me too I didn’t do LED weaning with my 2 years old and I stay have problem to feed her solid, And I have 8 months , I think I should start led weaning

SIDS was an infant health crisis because it was happening way too often. Good ideas were proposed by medical researchers to resolve much of the problem and we rarely hear of it now. If there were national outbreaks of babies choking to death on their food, there would be new procedures in place by now for introducing foods to them. Of course, that was back when we were a nation that believed in the benefits of scientific research and knowledge. But, there is not a huge level of babies or toddlers choking to death on their foods, though it does happen. Sadly, when it does happen it may often be because parents were not careful about the food prep and were not present while the child ate. Good to give such great resources to people to use. And so many people give their kids both purees and baby foods and BLW adult foods. It is essential that wee ones have the shorter handles. It is physics. Their arms are not long enough to get the angle right to get food to their mouths successfully from a bowl using an adult-handled fork and spoon. It will always spray around a lot more with those more adult ones. You are recommending good equipment, utensils. Just remember the time will come when he has more teeth to let him have raw carrots, broccoli with maybe some hummus or yogurt dip and most kids love raw sugar snap peas. You cannot be psycho with him when he's eating, so he won't develop eating issues. Yes, do not worry about the baby gags or tongue thrusts. If it's too much food, it will come out. He is equipped to largely protect himself. And it's the amount that's in his mouth or the new texture for him to feel on his tongue or learning to chew with the new teeth that keep coming in that causes him to do all those mouth and tongue movements. I had to laugh at his outfits. I know some people who feed their babies naked, except for their diaper. LOL. I pointed out this could become an odd habit when they go out on their first dinner date later in life and have to get naked to dine. Jackson's looking at it, feeling it, smelling it and deciding what to do with it. He will soon figure out whatever you give him on his tray goes in his mouth and will fill the hole in his belly. He's doing precisely what BLW is intended to do for him in terms of getting used to all the varieties, tastes, temps, and textures of adult foods. You can sell tickets to this stuff; it is so entertaining to watch. He will drop food off the tray and even his sippy cup of water for awhile because it is a learning about gravity thing. Not that there aren't some children who just don't like the looks of their breakfast or always awaken on the wrong side of the bed and fling their plates of food through the air regularly and are clearly being recalcitrant. They go into Time-Out to learn that they do not handle platters of food that way. But he is a bit young to decide to do that as a protest against mornings or having to eat before playing or whatever. Avocadoes are more slippery than bananas, but tend to just squish through their fingers a bit less readily. He is young. He's doing well. He will get the hang of this shortly. Lordy, then you face Riley's potty training. I do not envy you that when she is so oppositional with you at times in her behaviors. But, she may take to it quickly once she's ready. Jackson is clearly learning what he can reach and how to grab it, so that's good. OK, he started to get some avocado flesh and not just the not-so-tasty skin. He'll figure that out, too. He's in a so much better, safer position in the new highchair, which I think is rather a handsome piece of furniture. I had a friend I could never forgive because she actually fit into her kids' highchairs. LOL. If you give him avocado on toast or jelly on toast, do not be shocked if he eventually turns it upside down with the spread side on his tongue. Lots of babies do that because the taste of the spread will hit their tastebuds first. They learn quickly. Bless him, he may be skeptical about a lot of things, but he's persistent. So far he is not getting the banana up his nose, in his ears, and in his hair and even eyelashes! You can show him how to use the fork and spoon. It will help a bit. Then let him do it. Got such a kick out of him figuring out what the flaxseed was on the avocado. A new taste, texture, and sensation in his mouth. So cute. And I love the quasi-shower curtain you have him wrapped in. Excellent that you just let him go at it. It will educate and entertain new parents who face this.

Amazon sells gripped mats that help babies he able to grab their food easier! Has a bunch of grooves and grips ☺️

He did a very very good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Starting next week at my parents!

Love the vid❤️ my baby has just started eating solids as well, need some inspirations❤️ Greetings ❤️

omg soo funny and cute... cant wait my baby girl to start eating...

We have the Bumpkins but my LO loves the NumNum utensils

i know the feeling when it comes to anxiety on babies choking on food and it was relieving to see that im not the only one and that its totally normal :D :D By the way its funny how we all must have been sitting and waiting till he could grab the piece of avocado ;D ;D

Hi my baby is 10 months old and all this while I was feeding her purees but last two days I started weaning so is it necessary to feed purees to side by side as she is not eating well in weaning

My baby is almost 7 months old. We have been trying to do BLW too. I'm having too much fun. Coat avocado strips with oatmeal so it's not too slipper to grab xD

I would love to know what times of day you fed him and how it fits in with his milk and if his milk has gone down or up. Just about to start led weaning with my baby and struggling to work out a good schedule / pattern and what to expect in terms of if him drinking milk will go up or down 💕💕

I will take a baby first aid course before starting blw hahaha

Very informative. May i ask where your dresser is from?

I will take some of your tips 🙂

Which bread do you used for the toast?

Every child get picky around 2yrs old or before no mater if they were purre or blw fed as baby they eat everything because they need more nutrients and calories as they are growing faster than toddlers toddlers want to play more so they want to spend less time in the table our job is to serve healthy/balance meal with one new choice of food or that they dont like and in a long run they we'll start eating a more variety of food again. They stop eating what they used to love as babies. My daughter had a phase of eating only green veggies when she was a baby and she loved broccoli now she doesnt touch it. Puree is supposed to be for 2m then mashed food and then finger food the longer we take to move from pure the less they will want finger food because they like thing simple and less effort they are lazy so they we ask for puree instead of finger food.

My son will pick up toys and straw cup in his mouth but not food on the tray. Do you know why? I saw you put the food in his hand, should we let them pick up the food by themselves or it's ok to put the food in thier hand?

When to see the second part of the sleep training video؟؟

My son is now 6 months old and just started BLW, but he just squashes and drops the food on the floor and doesn't carry it into his mouth. Should I just be patient for the first few months? I'm not sure if I should just watch him until he feels like eating or I should do something to help him eat...

Ciao che bello bambino carino anche la sua famiglia e bella carina come il bambino ciao tutti

Can you start all of these foods right at 6 months?

How many teeth does he have ? My son has 2 bottom teeth coming out ( 6 months ) but I’m scared to try giving him any small solids

Great video, per usual!! So, we’re also starting the same process and I saw a mom on YT recommend a crinkle cutter you cut the food so the baby can easily grip. 🤓 I also noticed my baby bites an appropriate amount when crinkle cut. 🤔

My daughters dad freaks out when she eats anything & coughs or gags & I told him you can’t freak out or else she’ll freak out, she knows what she’s doing you just have to trust her. The first the she actually bit a big piece of of & chewed & swallowed was pizza 🤦🏻‍♀️ lol I freaked out like you said & then seen she actually chewed it & swallowed it & I gained more trust in her with foods. We’re on week 1

My daughter is only a few days younger than Jackson and we have been doing BLW for a few months now. She barely ate purees, she wanted to feed herself. Are you waiting a few days before introducing new foods? I have really struggled with what foods to give her and when. She really doesn't like much :( Also, did you have to teach Jackson to use the utensils Or did he just do it on his own? I have them in my Amazon cart and am going to try to use them. My baby girl hasn't feed herself purees, I'd like to try that. BTW he's so cute eating all those foods. I love the faces they make!

Hi mom,I didn’t start baby led weaning at 6 months and now my baby is 17 months. He cannot feed himself like others. I am so upset about it. Do you think I start it now. Please reply thank u

My son is 7.5 month but im afraid he is gonna choke by eating too big of a piece .. he once choked a little and i freaked out... how to do it properly? Ps love your family and your vids so much

My son started solids with vegetables soups which i thought it was way too soon for veggies but i have being making his food into the point that its almost like milk because i am scared of choking.My son chokes on milk a lot..pls upload videos like that..love from.Cyprus
