Certains parents choisissent la DME, d&#8217;autres la combinent avec les pur\u00e9es. Voici le mat\u00e9riel qui facilite vraiment la d\u00e9couverte, et les r\u00e8gles \u00e0 conna\u00eetre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From what age?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On commence g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement vers 6 mois, quand b\u00e9b\u00e9 tient assis avec un bon maintien, contr\u00f4le sa t\u00eate, attrape les objets et les porte \u00e0 la bouche. Le lait reste l&#8217;alimentation principale au d\u00e9but. Demandez toujours conseil \u00e0 votre p\u00e9diatre avant de commencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful equipment for BLW<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>A stable high chair with a harness: the <a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/product\/folding-high-chair-for-baby-comfort-and-safety-every-day\/\">folding high chair<\/a> lets baby eat at the table. Our guide <a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/blog\/baby-high-chair\/\">on choosing a high chair<\/a> helps you compare.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>An easy-to-wash bib, preferably silicone: the <a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/product\/baby-silicone-bibs\/\">ultra-thin silicone bibs<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/product\/silicone-baby-bibs\/\">silicone bibs<\/a> rinse clean in a few seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Une assiette ou un bol antid\u00e9rapant : l&#8217;<a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/product\/complete-silicone-feeding-set\/\">complete silicone feeding set<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/product\/non-slip-silicone-baby-meal-set\/\">baby non-slip dining set<\/a> limit the mess.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Un verre d&#8217;apprentissage : le <a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/product\/baby-training-cup\/\">360-degree training cup<\/a> helps baby discover the cup.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>A feeder, used under supervision: the <a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/product\/baby-fruit-dummy\/\">food feeder pacifier<\/a> lets baby taste fruit and vegetables in small amounts.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>A mat or towel to protect the floor, and wipes within reach.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What foods to offer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On propose des aliments mous ou bien cuits, coup\u00e9s en b\u00e2tonnets de la taille d&#8217;un doigt d&#8217;adulte, que b\u00e9b\u00e9 peut attraper \u00e0 pleine main : carotte ou courgette bien cuites, poire ou banane m\u00fbres, avocat, pain grill\u00e9. Variez progressivement les saveurs et les textures. Pas de miel avant un an, ni de sel ou de sucre ajout\u00e9s. Suivez les conseils de votre p\u00e9diatre sur les aliments \u00e0 introduire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gagging or choking: knowing the difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le haut-le-c\u0153ur est fr\u00e9quent au d\u00e9but de la DME : b\u00e9b\u00e9 tousse, devient un peu rouge et expulse le morceau. C&#8217;est un r\u00e9flexe qui le prot\u00e8ge. L&#8217;\u00e9touffement, lui, est silencieux : b\u00e9b\u00e9 ne peut plus tousser, respirer ni crier. Il faut alors agir imm\u00e9diatement. Pour \u00eatre pr\u00eat, suivez une formation aux gestes de premiers secours p\u00e9diatriques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BLW safety rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Baby always eats sitting upright, never lying down or reclined.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>An adult stays present and attentive throughout the meal.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>On ne met jamais d&#8217;aliments dans sa bouche : c&#8217;est lui qui les porte.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Avoid risky foods: whole nuts, whole grapes, hard, round and slippery pieces.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions about BLW<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BLW or pur\u00e9es: which to choose?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les deux approches peuvent fonctionner et se combiner. Choisissez celle qui vous met le plus \u00e0 l&#8217;aise et qui convient \u00e0 b\u00e9b\u00e9, en vous appuyant sur l&#8217;avis de votre p\u00e9diatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">B\u00e9b\u00e9 n&#8217;a pas encore de dents : peut-il manger des morceaux ?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oui, car ses gencives m\u00e2chent efficacement les aliments mous. Les aliments doivent rester assez tendres pour s&#8217;\u00e9craser entre deux doigts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does baby need to eat large amounts?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Au d\u00e9but, il s&#8217;agit surtout de d\u00e9couvrir : go\u00fbts, textures, gestes. Laissez b\u00e9b\u00e9 explorer \u00e0 son rythme, sans le forcer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find all our tips in the <a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/blog\/baby-meals-complete-guide\/\">complete guide to baby meals<\/a> and our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/petitmaxou.com\/en\/blog\/baby-weaning\/\">weaning<\/a>.
