11 Best International Baby-led Weaning Brands in India in 2024
Baby-Led Weaning is the process of starting solids for your baby, letting them learn to eat and explore the world of new flavors and textures at their discretion. It is a process that can be started once your baby turns 6 months old, can sit up in their highchair without support, and demonstrate the ability to chew and swallow food properly.
Baby-Led Weaning is assisted by multiple products that form an essential arsenal.
These products usually include a sturdy highchair, oral development tools that assist a baby as they learn chewing, mats and bibs to keep the mess at bay (because BLW can be a messy affair!), and some utensils that will assist your little one to excel at eating by themselves.
To save you time and effort, we decided to put together a curated list of the 11 best, international baby-led weaning brands in India.
