BLW Blacklist: Dangerous Foods That Many Don't Realize (Never give your baby these)

Baby led weaning is an extremely popular method for introducing solids. But it's not as simple as just giving your baby anything you're eating. There are many really common foods that actually present a significant choking risk for babies that you should never give them.

In this video, you'll learn about 6 seemingly innocent foods that you should never give a baby when baby led weaning (or at any time). You'll learn why these foods are a hazard for BLW, so you can also avoid other foods that may pose a similar risk due to their size, shape and/or texture.

I hope this one helps you on your baby-led weaning journey!

Did any of these foods surprised you?

[potapotapotapotapotapota]

as an adult I choke all the time on water, I don't know how I survived as a baby

[sunnyhazen]

I would say the white bread or any kind of pastries are to avoid. They are very sticky and my baby almost chocked. Im watching you from Mongolia. My baby is 13 months old now and you are with us the day one.Thank you so much for your videos!

I love baby led weaning!! My baby eats by himself solids while i eat as well. The only things i spoon feed him are soup and yogurt. He has been trying to feed hinself to the best of his ability since 9 months old. He is getting better each week.

None of these foods surprises me, but I prefer to stick to spoon feeding for my 6 month-old son anyway, because it is better to be safe than sorry. I am a first time mom at the age of 40, so I am not risking anything that may harm my beloved baby.

Looking into weaning ready for next month! My daughter turned 5 months today 🙂 thank you for making these informative videos!

What's wrong with just puree everything until they get teeth? And who gives babies hotdogs? They're full of chemicals. I just don't get it.

[MPaez-lqig]

My baby is 6 months old today so this video was perfectly timed for me!

[Stephanie-xqbh]

Do you have some foods that you recommended starting with?

[poweroflove]

Is it okay if the baby swallows/gulps a big bite of a ( well cooked) food/vegetable for ex- Broccoli/boiled egg?

[DrowningAreYou]

Thanks for this video! I saw some conflicting sites about honey, so I’m glad I have a solid answer on that now. Some of these “should be” common sense lol.

[moniquemurphy]

What is the point of this way of introducing solid foods to babies? What was wrong with introducing /feeding
soft cereals, mushy foods, etc. until babies had teeth? Just seems dangerous. Why would you want to take a chance of a child choking or gagging? I just don’t get it.

[farzanakhoti]

I learnt on my own by giving my son correct food alhamdulliah today he is healthy

[Stephanie-xqbh]

Do you have a type of nut butter you would recommend for a 6 month old?
Also, is spread on toast the best way to introduce something like thinned our peanut butter?

[bluerosy]

Purée of strawberry and blueberry is safe to give to baby ..??

[wtfamidoingwithmylife]

I was wondering if you have any advice on how to properly introduce nuts to a baby at a young age. Since nut butters can be a choling hazard, I was wondering if there are any other ways to efficiently introduce nuts to a baby?

[andreasophiestrobitzer]

Hi Emma. Could you do a video about growth spurts? I know a lot of people don't believe they exist but I want to hear your opinion. Love your Videos! ❤

[vedasindhoora]

Bananas... I have seen some moms give a whole peeled banana, similar to sausage... or cut up into discs... both pose choking risks... There was an incident in our city where a child lost his life due to a banana, mom sent as snack to school 🙁🙁😔

[Jessyroselove]

I need help ! My 8 month old HATES purees and food. She just makes disgusted faces and plays with her food only. I can't get her to eat more than a couple bites ever !! What should I do ???

[kiraknechtle]

Do you have anything on getting baby to look up? This includes in sitting. I joke that our 6month old’s cheeks weigh her down.
