What are the pros and cons of baby led weaning?

there is only one con - that it will get messy. but that's what a baby apron/bib or a baby chair or food tray is for, right? :) the pros are many! it helped my kids to get more independent and curious about food, and it made them better eaters. also, it made it easier for us to all sit at the dining table as a family and that was the main highlight of the day.
