The supplementary feeding adventure, which begins when babies turn 6 months old, is one of the most difficult periods for mothers. The BLW (Baby Led Weaning) method, which has been widely used among mothers recently and contributes to the physical and mental development of the baby in addition to nutrition, is defined in the most general terms as the baby's self-feeding. Many areas of physical development, especially hand-eye coordination and motor skills, are positively affected by BLW management, in which the baby plays the leading role. Self-feeding babies also develop feelings of competence, responsibility, and self-confidence.
There are many products in our collection that support BLW management. Collecting the foods that fall into the front pocket of the MinikOiOi Flexi-BIB improves the baby's fine motor skills. The vacuum-based MinikOiOi Portion, Puzzle, and Bowly are fixed to the high chair and table and support babies' participation in the family table. MinikOiOi Dig-in and Scoops can be easily grasped by little hands, and their soft texture does not harm babies' sensitive palates. MinikOiOi Mini Cups and Straws do not break when dropped or bitten, providing a safe feeding time for the baby.
What Should Be Considered in BLW?
· The baby should be seated upright, and food should be placed within reach.
· Since the baby can also use his/her hands during feeding, should be paid attention to hand hygiene.
· Food served should be cut to finger size and should not be too soft or hard.
· Seasonal fruits and vegetables should be preferred.
The baby must always be kept under adult supervision during feeding time.
