Impact of a modified version of baby-led weaning on dietary variety, nutrients and food preferences in

infants

Brittany Morison

University of Otago, New Zealand

B

aby-led weaning (BLW) is a form of complementary

feeding where the baby feeds themselves foods that

they can pick up right from the start of complementary

feeding. It appears to be gaining popularity in the United

Kingdom and New Zealand. However, the published

evidence available in this area is very limited. Baby-Led

Introduction to Solids (BLISS) is a modified version of BLW,

and the BLISS study is the first randomized controlled trial

of a baby-led approach to complementary feeding in the

world. It aims to address this current gap and determine

whether a baby-led approach is associated with potential

health benefits or risks in infants through to 2 years of age.
