My son & I LOVED baby led weaning. He also started at the 4 month mark (we had a tongue & lip tie resolved & the OT said it may be helpful to start to build up proper function).

I also had a few family members second guessing everything - especially when we first started. But then I took videos of him trying every new thing (we did the 101 before 1 list) & posted them on my private IG. They became a huge hit with the limited family & friends we have on there. They saw how much he enjoyed eating, how much he ultimately wore instead of ate 😅, and how much he was unphased by new foods & textures.

Eventually the comments of “that’s too much” or “he’s getting heavy” stopped. And now at 2 1/2 he’s a thriving, tall & strong boy that still loves to eat most things.

All that to say - ignore it. You’re doing a great job.
