"A baby's stomache can ONLY handle purees"

[NaturalMomma]

With BLW you usually introduce soft foods so that if they start to choke it's actually easy for them to swallow it down. They also have to work to eat with BLW, so they learn to chew first. Purees is just food getting shoved into their mouths and I've seen many babies choke on purees. My boys only choked a handful of times with BLW and none of it was serious, just a few coughs/gags and food went right down.

my mom is convinced that Rhys not eating purees is the cause of his night sleep issues (because it gives him a tummy ache ). I think it's a hard thing for the older generation to grasp and since she can't see him eating in person (she lives in Texas) it really worries her (even though he's 9 months now )
