Baby-led weaning, or BLW, is a method based on the principle of letting your child feed themselves independently by picking up food with their fingers or utensils and bringing it to their mouth without help.
Through our two daughters' experiences at the table, we have our top 4 essentials that have greatly facilitated the table experience for our children, but especially for us!
- Baby training spoons
Our training spoons were a real game changer for our second child , who, thanks to this spoon with a hole, was able to gain confidence and quickly learn to feed herself! We know that children, and especially babies who are just starting out, don't have much control over their movements, so even if she made sudden movements, the food was trapped in her spoon.
The case is very useful for keeping a set in your bag so you have it with you on outings!
You can even offer the spoon as a teething toy to help your little one become familiar with grasping.
Our spoon is made entirely of food-grade silicone, so it's safe. It's dishwasher safe!
- The silicone placemat
If your child sits at the counter or table, this placemat is perfect! It adheres well to surfaces, is flexible, lightweight, and, most importantly, easy to carry. We love it for outings because our daughters can eat directly on it, and it's much more hygienic too! A must-have for us!
- The suction-operated divided plate
We always thought suction cups were useless until we discovered ours! It's incredibly strong against children's strength, but most importantly, it's easy for parents to detach thanks to its well-positioned tab. And like all our products and accessories, it's made of platinum-grade silicone, so it's dishwasher and microwave safe!
We recommend it without hesitation.
- The silicone bib
Our bib is adjustable, flexible, and incredibly easy to care for. Our youngest child even agrees to wear it, which is a miracle considering she refuses all the other models we've had her try!
Is it dirty? Just rinse it under hot water or put it in the dishwasher if you don't feel like cleaning it!
