My LO is 8 months old.. When she was 7 months old , I tried baby-led weaning (blw) method of feeding . Until one day she almost choke on a carrot and from that day I become fearful to try blw again .. Decided to feed her puree and porridge .. The traditional way of weaning . However, every time I see my fren's son of same age doing blw and can eat so many different whole food, I felt like I've failed as a mother :( feel that I've short changed my LO .. Been feeling lousy for quite a few weeks .. Yet another part of me tells me not to feel pressurized about what other mommies are doing., what should I do to feel better ? Traditional weaning is really so bad ?

Maybe it you wanna feed whole foods, carrots are not the best to start with. Maybe you can try again with softer foods like avocado, banana etc. Cut them into really small pieces and these should be safe for baby to eat. Once baby is older has gotten the hang of chewing, you can try again with harder foods like carrots. Don't give up mommy!
