Slightly off topic but I'm curious as to what people mean when they say they do a combination of BLW and TW? With BLW you don't give any purees, don't spoon feed mashed food (if LO will feed themselves yoghurt etc from a preloaded spooon then that's fine) etc. My understanding of TW was always a combination of purees/mashed food being spoon fed and giving them finger foods. So I guess I don't understand how you can combine, it's either one or the other? I haven't heard of anyone who TWs without also having finger foods
I think the confusion is that some people think BLW is the act of offering LO finger foods, not the idea of weaning them solely on normal food rather than purees.
To me, saying you combine TW and BLW is like saying you do a combination of exclusive breastfeeding and combination feeding...doesn't make sense.
I agree the label you put on how you wean doesn't matter, but it helps if we're all 'singing from the same hymn sheet' when we talk about stuff!
