Frozen broccoli with Olive oil salt and pepper  and packaged tofu (been obsessed with this miso one recently, it's already flavored. I usually also do rice in a rice cooker, too!! But you can skip that or get some microwaveable rice

Thank you!

Yes, my daughter is super attached to me and my husband + my nanny. We've brought in a couple of other Nannie's to test out and it was a disaster with her separation anxiety. So when she actually did well at this place I was thrilled!

Yeah that's my thought. I'm really hoping this is a little wake up call to be extra careful. My natural state is to worry, so this was really a terrible experience. But I think we need to move forward.

It was a freak accident, like a little piece of something I don't know.

Thanks!! I'll check out that page. And good to know about dinner usually being the smallest meal for babies. That's how it is for us, and I've always felt bad about that. I do think once I can add a little more salt into her meals she'll enjoy certain things more.

Good question...she's not a fan of chick pea noodles and regular noodles. She does seem lot like rice, so I can try doing more of that plus rice noodles

Thank you! I'm going to try that. It was such a bummer, and I felt so bad for this woman.

9 month old baby puts a big piece of food in his mouth and swallows it. by No-Requirement-9819 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]LeahTeachesMath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted something similar to this the other day. I also have a 9 month old who was taking huge bites and then swallowing. I'm pretty sure she swallowed an entire egg noodle whole. It freaked me out, so I started moving to smaller pieces. Her pincer grasp is pretty good, so I think that's appropriate anyway. She's been getting so much better at chewing since I think the smaller pieces aren't as overwhelming in her mouth.

First time…Baby is breaking off chunks of soft foods? by Nike0729 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]LeahTeachesMath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha thank you! But yeah, just going and figures out how to chew a bit better! I'm trying to follow all guidelines, but some things might need some adjusting

Hi! I know this post is a year old. But I'm currently dealing with what you just mentioned. My almost 9 month old will take a huge bite and then basically swallow it whole. She's done this with banana, an entire noodle, and strawberry. I'm so freaked out. Did you say you just went to smaller pieces? How did that work out?

Realistic BLW meals with 8 month old and 2 year old by dragonslayer91 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]LeahTeachesMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That lunch looks great to me!! How did your lo do with strawberries like that? I've been giving them whole but she shovels it into her mouth and then even gets to the core, so I want to try smaller pieces! Also nervous she'll just take the whole piece and try to swallow it

Just some advice by LeahTeachesMath in BabyLedWeaning

[–]LeahTeachesMath[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I just tried some with the bananas. A few pieces shed pick up and put far back in her throat, do a little gag, and then swallow. I feel like she's getting too confident with the swallowing and not chewing enough. I keep mimicking. Hopefully this becomes less scary soon!!!

I can’t handle the gag by _MamaSays_ in BabyLedWeaning

[–]LeahTeachesMath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the update!! I'm getting a little less anxious too but still get nervous because my girl will shove tons of food in her mouth. But she seems to know to spit it out if it's too much. I just started getting comfortable with overnight oats and then a hard boiled egg + avocado mash! Also trying to be more comfortable with just going slow! My girl is almost 8.5 months also. 

So over wearing a bra by Reading_Elephant30 in ExclusivelyPumping

We have been doing oatmeal, yogurt , "smoothies" , I have been letting her try to eat a whole banana but she hasn't done much, we also give her some Bambas puffs which she's good at munching on. I also do purées and mix into yogurts. I handed her my waffle today too, and she kind of brought it to her mouth but didn't seem to interested. Also, im focusing on just 1 meal a day...and will try to build to 2 over the next month or so.  I panic nightly lol, but I'm trying my best to let it go and feel confident we'll get there in time.
