We decided to go with the Baby Led Weaning (BLW) method of introducing solid foods to Leila. Basically the premise of it is you wait until your babies are older (closer to 6 months or beyond) and start them with real food right from the start, no purees. They feed themselves and because of this they are more willing to try new foods and have less texture issues later on. We started Leila with this last night, and she did great! We gave her broccoli and peaches and she picked them up and gnawed on them like a champ. I'm so proud of my big girl!
