Hi,
I think there is a lot of evidence in favour of baby led weaning but I have heard some stories about babies still eating with there hands only when they are quite old.
With all things baby it seems that every child is different so what works for you is the best way to go.
I think like meandmy I'd like to do a bit of both.
We're loosely going to follow Annabel Karmel and give our little one food to hold too.
Hope it goes well for everyone x
