July 1st: 5 Fun Ways to Celebrate Baby-Led Weaning Day!

Did you know July 1st is National Baby-Led Weaning Day?

It’s a perfect opportunity to celebrate this fantastic approach to feeding your little one. Baby-led weaning (BLW) lets your baby explore foods, develop motor skills, and enjoy mealtimes. Here are five fun ways to celebrate BLW Day with your self-feeding baby!

1. Try a New Food Adventure: Introduce a new food to your baby today! Whether it’s a tropical fruit like mango or a new protein like lentils, expanding their palate is both exciting and beneficial. Remember, variety is key in BLW.

 

2. Host a Baby Picnic: Why not take mealtime outdoors? Spread a blanket in the park or your backyard, and let your baby explore finger foods in a new environment. It’s a great way to make eating fun and social.

 

3. Create a Food Art Masterpiece: Turn mealtime into art time! Arrange colorful fruits and veggies into fun shapes and patterns on your baby’s plate. Not only is this visually stimulating, but it also encourages your baby to try new foods.

 

4. Practice Drinking from an Open Cup: Celebrate BLW Day by helping your baby practice drinking from an open cup. Start with small amounts of water and let them experiment. This skill boosts their independence and fine motor skills.

 

5. Share Your Journey: Document your baby’s BLW milestones and share them on social media using the hashtag #BLWDay. Connect with other parents, share tips, and celebrate together. You might inspire someone else to try baby-led weaning!

Conclusion: Baby-Led Weaning Day is all about celebrating the joy and independence that comes with letting your baby explore foods on their own. These activities not only make mealtimes fun but also support your baby’s development. Happy BLW Day!
