Most of us already know more about baby-led weaning than we give ourselves credit for. This piece is a relaxed reminder of the basics.
Tiny win one
Choose the friendlier option more often than the perfect one. The friendlier option keeps showing up.
Spread the practice across the day rather than piling it into one long block. Spreads survive busy weeks.
Tiny win two
Make it social if you can. Habits that include people tend to stick longer than solo ones.
Tiny win three
Trust the average, not the highlight reel. Averages are what shape a life.
Tiny win four
Some days everything goes as planned. Most days, something gets in the way. Both are normal.
A shorter version done often beats a longer version done rarely.
Stringing them together
Notice what you already do. Many useful habits are already in place — they just need a gentle nudge.
Borrow from people you already trust. Ask a friend what works for them. Steal the small ideas.
- A budget-friendly version with what you already have
- A version for the living room floor
- A version for the drive home
You don’t have to do it perfectly to do it well. Repeat kindly.
