Can we do a mix of baby led weaning and spoonfeed with porridge too? My parents are too scared to let my LO feed on her own :(

yes you can definitely do so, but try to do it on separate days, as in don't do baby led weaning and spoon feeding the same day. i understand your parents may be scared to let your baby feed on her own, but show them that the foods you are giving will not have a risk of choking. make them bite sized and avoid giving foods such as grapes or raisins initially. give watermelon chunks that your baby can hold and bite into, or bites of fruits and vegetables and so on. also, ask them to wait for a day or two before doing the spoon-feeding, so that your baby gets the feel of self-eating. to take care of the mess, keep a soft towel handy :)
