I want to try baby led weaning for my 6 month old son but am afraid he might choke on his food. Any advice from mummies who've tried this with their LOs?

I'd say start easy and slow, and basically let your child take the lead (hence baby LED weaning) and expect to have some heart attacks esp. when they gag. it was tough convincing the older folks about BLW, but eventually when they saw that my daughter can self-feed, they were amazed, impressed and more confident as we got along. ensure your child is able to sit upright etc, and always ensure adult supervision. start with simple foods like sliced avocado, carrot sticks, potato sticks, or even bread. it might take awhile for him to get used to it since it's entirely a new thing for him, so do be patient, and have fun while you're at it! :)
