Baby-led weaning is a social activity which means eating together not gazing at the baby! These days I have found a simple technique of encouraging my son to "eat" more....
We share the food. When he becomes less eager (you know, I observe him only secretly :wink: ) to a piece in his hand, I will bite a tiny bit from the piece (still in his hand). Whenver I do this, he will smile and will try the piece again for longer. 100% success rate!
Perhaps he thinks that he has a chance to feed his father! :-) Anyway, eating is fun when it is like a play which is always two-way.
Maybe you have known this "technique" for many months. Sorry!
