Starting baby-led weaning before baby sits independently?

BLW can be started at 6 months even if your baby needs some support to sit, provided they have basic head and neck control and are propped safely in a high chair. The key is to supervise them closely during mealtimes. While purees were traditionally the starting point, many parents successfully begin BLW by offering soft, age-appropriate finger foods that the baby can grasp and explore, which helps develop fine motor skills and independence early on.
