[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am against it because of choking. There are zero peer reviewed studies showing any long term benefits at all to BLW. It’s just a fad, not science. I also personally know a baby who choked on a strawberry and had to be resuscitated, 911 called, the whole shebang. BLW recommends serving foods whole or in large chunks to babies with teeth. What happens when babies use those teeth to bite off a big chunk then swallow? It’s just not safe and the risk benefit makes no sense when there are no statistically documented rewards. I started doing it then stopped when I realized how dumb/dangerous it is. Years later kid eats a huge variety of foods, no pickiness, excellent teeth and palate development despite doing purées.[/quote] I've never heard it recommended to serve food whole or in chunks. You're supposed to cut or mush it to make it safe. Common sense would tell you that. [/quote]
