It can be overwhelming at times, trying to navigate through endless information, advice, and different approaches. Trust me, I’ve been there! That's why I created The Petit Spoon—to simplify and inspire your experience with baby led weaning. You will find a treasure trove of recipes on these pages.

What is Baby-Led Weaning?
Baby led weaning is a method of introducing solid foods that allows your baby to self-feed from the start. Instead of spoon-feeding purees, baby led weaning encourages little ones to explore and enjoy a wide variety of textures, tastes, and colours through finger foods. It's a beautifully messy and developmentally empowering approach that promotes self-regulation and fosters a positive relationship with food.
