Abstract

Baby-led weaning (BLW), where infants self-feedwithout the use of spoon-feeding by a caregiver, continues to be a popular approach to starting solids. However, concerns remain amongst health professionals that infants using this method may not consume sufficient energy or nutrients from solid foods....

Conversely, BLW infants consumed more calories and nutrients from breast or formula milk, consistent with a slower transition to solid foods. No differences were found in estimated intake amongst older infants suggesting BLW infants had 'caught up' with their spoon-fed peers. Overall, few infantsregardless of weaning group met recommended intake guidelines for energy (either over or under consuming) with many deficient in iron and zinc intake. The findings are important for those supporting parents through the transition to solid foods. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
