    The confusion lies in the terminology. The true BLW method does not limit the foods offered to foods squished on the roof of the mouth, etc., as noted in the guidelines in this study. This study provided safe boundaries and hopefully parents will stay within those and not blur the lines with pork chops (which we’re mentioned and in the photograph) and other risky foods. Thanks for posting Krisi!

    BLW seems to be very “trendy” among young moms in suburban Houston where I practice. Even with the moms who have children with feeding difficulties (especially transition to solids). As a feeding specialist, the risk for choking really concerns me. I saw the picture of the baby and pork chop too! Yikes! For our kiddos with feeding issues and oral sensorimotor deficits, this risk for choking is even greater! I do see the benefit of certain foods only for oral exploration under strict supervision. I think spoon feeding of purees is an important stepping stone in the feeding hierarchy. We don’t expect kids to move directly from crawling to running. We should not expect babies to move from thin liquids to pork chops. There’s gotta be a (safe) happy medium!
