[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is insanity.  Your baby is already weaned.  They go without for the 40+ hours a day they are at day care. Just give them a bottle. Please let go of the idea that your child is breastfed.  They are bottle fed except on nights and weekends and, clearly,  if your kid goes to day care,
The kid has already figured out that milk comes from more than one place.  Any trauma you are trying to avoid with "baby-led" weaning has already occurred when you took away the boob when you went back to work. [/quote]

what are you talking about, weirdo? [/quote]

BLW is weird, though, and the direct extension of breastfeeding as a way to perfect your child's nutrition through weird, difficult-to-implement rules.  Purees are fine.  [/quote]

JFC does no one know what baby led weaning is? It's feeding finger foods instead of purees. Not difficult at all (except maybe the clean up).[/quote]

Gotta love DCUM where people express strong opinions about things they literally do not even know about [/quote]

No, I know what baby-led weaning is.  It's not just finger foods.  No daycare will have an issue with giving your kid some cheerios.  It insists that pureed foods and spoon feeding are bad, and says that babies should be given large chunks of food to chew on.  It minimizes choking risks, and claims that babies just "gag" on the food.  Even if it's not a choking hazard it can be extremely messy (e.g., smearing banana or avocado everywhere) in a way that may not be practical or fair in a daycare setting.  In addition, daycare settings are typically 3:1 or even 4:1 ratios with babies of weaning age.  That makes it even riskier to give a 6 month old a chicken drumstick to gnaw on.  [/quote]
