Is baby led weaning a fad? For many years , food has been puréed and served to babies and they grow up eating well and healthy. So if baby led weaning helpful or just a fad? Especially in the Asian Chinese culture.

I don't think it's a fad. I think it's because we might be so used to seeing and practising a certain method, the other seem foreign. To mothers who come from cultures where the means to make or buy purees are not the norm, this might seem odd to them. My siblings and I grew up with a mixture of purees and finger foods, which I will emulate if it is suitable for my children. There is no right and wrong method -- just what is convenient, comfortable and most of all, safe for the young ones.
