BLW for breakfast, lunch and dinner (6m+) – recipes

What is BLW?

BLW for breakfast, lunch and dinner – in the following paragraphs you will learn simple recipes for meals from the “BLW” category, but first let’s answer the question: What is BLW really?
BLW (Baby Led Weaning) in Poland is known as Bobas Lubi Wybór. This method has a growing number of supporters. To start the adventure with BLW, a child must be able to sit steadily on its own or on an adult’s lap. In the initial stage of introducing this method, we start with soft products that the child can handle, e.g. cooked vegetables. It can be, for example, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, thick-cooked groats. In the initial period, the child will play with food, learn about the texture, which means that you have to prepare for the mess around. The baby begins by grabbing the food with his own hands, but you can also give him a spoon and watch how he is doing. In the BLW method, the child gradually switches from a milk diet to a solid food. The parent offers a meal, and the child decides whether to eat and how much.

The recipes you see have been created in collaboration with a nutritionist Marlena Goncerz, so you can be sure that they are rich in nutrients necessary for the proper development of your child. Marlena is privately a mother of two lovely children and the owner of an instagram account @mama.dietetyk. You will prepare the whole process of preparing a meal or a significant part of it in kindaj cookby baby food maker, that will make your work easier and turn cooking into pleasure.
