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 ?

You are not a bad mother. I totally don't believe in blw. I don't think my boy is missing out on anything. I deliberately try not to compare milestones with others too. All these are not impt. As long as my baby is happy and healthy. Plus I give him all the love in fb world and he lives with the right values. Do what makes you comfortable - not what others make you feel you must or should be doing.
