Welcome To Baby-led Weaning (BLW) For Busy Moms
Your one-stop shop for baby-led weaning recipes, tips, and information
I know how hard raising babies and toddlers can be. I have two toddlers myself who are 18 months apart. I’ve been doing baby-led weaning with them since they were 6 months old.
I’ve now transitioned them to toddler meals, but my BLW recipes also work for toddlers as well.
Before I started this website, I would scour the internet looking for baby-friendly meals that both of them could eat.
The recipes I found were either too complicated, used too many ingredients, or just took too long to make.
I got so frustrated with the limited options out there, and that’s why I decided to start this website.
My goal is to provide busy moms with simple, quick, and easy recipes that work both as baby-led weaning meals and family meals.
Because we all know how difficult it is to cook separate meals for your baby and yourself every day.
A Little About Me
I’m a certified biology teacher who has taught high school biology for many years. I also teach nutrition and health as an elective. I understand the importance of feeding babies healthy and nutritious meals so that they build a healthy foundation with food.
That’s why my recipes do not use artificial dyes and sweeteners. I use simple everyday ingredients to create quick and easy meals for the whole family.
There are no frills when it comes to the meals I make. I focus on using real fruits and vegetables to craft meals suitable for baby-led weaning and toddlers.
I hope you find all the resources needed to begin your baby-led weaning journey here. To learn more, visit my About Me page here.
