I didn't set out intending to feed this way but we kind of fell into it and it worked like a charm with both my kids. I honestly believe that if you do it this way, your child is actually less likely to choke because they learn how to deal with food in their mouth before they actually have the skill to move it back where it might cause a problem. It fits in so well with what we have taught them breastfeeding and is so natural. I would say that the first month or so can be a bit scary until you both get the hang of it but before you know it, the diapers prove that lots is getting in and you don't have to go to a lot of extra trouble and your baby can be part of what the rest of the family is doing.<br />Good luck and have fun with it!pippasmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07386184818117314750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909454790294102814.post-21291192859866722892012-01-05T09:12:38.146-05:002012-01-05T09:12:38.146-05:00I'm so proud of you for posting this Ash!

Aislynn eats so well, and sits so nicely for dinner time. It's been so much fun for us to explore food with her. I can't wait until you get to go through this journey too and that I have another BLW mommy friend!Just Another Mummy Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746771790862399920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909454790294102814.post-30449038397813781442012-01-05T00:28:55.386-05:002012-01-05T00:28:55.386-05:00We more or less did this with Keziah and it was a ...We more or less did this with Keziah and it was a lot less stressful then I had expected. She took very well to feeding herself versus us trying to spoon feed her. People are often shocked that she can eat pasta and hot dogs, etc on her own, but I doubt she would be had we continued to try and more or less force feed her. And very quickly she learned to go into the kitchen if she needs food and she asks:) We certainly had our scary almost choke moments, but it is part of the learning process.Kyrsten McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09628706105150336745noreply@blogger.com
