BABYLED

BEAR

Hi I’m Jess, mama behind the Instagram page @babyled_bear
where I share the food adventures of my 2 year old Logan. Logi is a
Baby Led Weaning graduate, so the majority of my recipes are
designed to be suitable from 6 months old for babies who are self-
feeding. We thoroughly enjoyed our Baby Led Weaning journey
and we still apply many of the principles now that Logan is older.
We eat together as a family and try to model the behaviours we
want Logan to pick up. We also practice the division of
responsibilities which definitely takes away the pressure around
fussy toddler meal-time battles! As parents, it is our responsibility to
provide Logan with a balanced meal and to decide when we eat,
and it is Logan’s responsibility to decide which bits he wants to eat
and how much he wants to eat. We trust him to regulate his own
food intake and don’t try to coax him to eat if he’s telling us he isn’t
hungry. I’m also a big believer in repeated exposure - if Logi
doesn’t like something we tell him he doesn’t have to eat it, but I
will continue to serve it alongside foods he does like in future so he
gets used to seeing it. More often than not he will eventually give it
a second go! If you’d like to keep up with our food adventures and
learning through play you can follow us on Instagram -
