吃成這樣，我是白鬍子小公公。
小娃娃拿到什麼東西都往嘴裡放，
從給吃副食品起，總會隨意拿片水果、米餅讓他拿著練習吃、玩，
那時只是想讓他咬咬別的東西、嚐嚐新的味道，
現在才知道這樣的進食方式有個學名，Baby-Led Weaning(BLW)。
吃成一團亂的樣子，小花臉、雙手、餐盤、吃飯衣、水杯、餐椅都需要擦拭、清理。
今天除了餵食物泥外，同時給熟地瓜、米餅、星星餅乾。
呵，如果不想花太多時間善後，就給硬一點的食物吧。
Baby-Led Weaning的大意是給寶寶固體的離乳食物，
如，煮軟的蔬菜(地瓜、花耶菜)、水果、麵條、饅頭等，
讓寶寶自行、隨意的抓取進食，
由寶寶來主導斷奶，
而現今台灣的主流多是將食物打成泥餵食寶寶。
給Porsche吃副食品快2個月了，
常是兩者並行，
這樣做的好處是可以增加寶寶進食意願、邊吃邊玩，
壞處是善後比較辛苦、飯後總是一團混亂，
但為了讓他多吃一點、早些習慣食物原本的樣子，
還是摸摸鼻子的認了，
雖然這樣餵他吃飯像打仗一樣，
清理結束時總需要休息一下、喘口氣。
剛開始給固體食物時，
建議先給質地較硬的大塊狀食物(如芭樂、棗子)，
或可在口中自行分解的片狀食物(如米餅)。
質地硬、大塊狀均是為了防止寶寶噎到或刺進喉嚨深處，
那時曾試過給條狀芭樂，結果寶寶放太深、出現漲紅臉的作嘔反應，
那時曾試過給片狀蘋果，結果被寶寶咬斷、差點噎到。
在做這樣練習的時候，大人一定不可以離開，
要時時盯著看，不太怕寶寶嗆到、只怕他噎到，
嗆到一定會有，開始時連吃米餅、喝水都會，
在旁觀察著，寶寶多半能自行排解，
拍背、幫挖都不太需要，
一回生、二回熟，近2個月的實驗經過，
現在暫時排除可能會噎到的食物(如未煮爛的紅蘿蔔條，可咬斷、但無法嚼爛吞嚥)，
已經可以放心讓他玩食物了，
長柄湯匙搶去玩沒問題(不會刺太深而作嘔)、
gerber的星星餅乾、小饅頭也可以正確抓取食用(小肌肉的協調度)。
只是副食品階段主要功能是協助寶寶練習吞嚥及咀嚼，
如果不餵食物泥、可能需要久一點的時間才能學得會，
所以還是以食物泥為主、手指食物為輔，
每天提供些固體食物給他玩、讓他練習練習。
◎Baby-led weaning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby-led_weaning)
Baby-led weaning (often also referred to as BLW) is a method of gradually weaning a baby from a milk diet onto solid foods. It allows a baby to control his solid food intake by self-feeding from the very beginning of the weaning process.
Infants are offered a range of foods to provide a balanced diet from around 6 months. They often begin by picking up and licking the food, before progressing to eating. Babies typically begin self feeding around 6 months, although some will reach for food as early as 5 months and some will wait until 7 or 8. The intention of this process is that it is tailored to suit each particular baby and their personal development. The 6 month guideline provided by the World Health Organisation is based on research indicating the internal digestive system matures over the period 4–6 months. It seems reasonable to posit that the gut matures in tandem with the baby's external faculties to self feed.
Initial self-feeding attempts often result in very little food ingested as the baby explores textures and tastes, but the baby will soon start to swallow and digest what is offered. Breastfeeding is continued in conjunction with weaning and milk is always offered before solids in the first 12 months. Although breastfeeding is the ideal precursor to baby led weaning (as the baby has been exposed to different flavours via its mother's breast milk and the jaw action used during breastfeeding helps the baby learn to chew), it is also entirely possible to introduce a bottle-fed baby to solids using the BLW method. Bottle-fed babies can successfully wean using BLW, although it may take a little longer for the baby to get used to flavours and develop the ability to chew.
